Question

What the length of segment LM

Answer 1

Answer: LM = 23

Explanation:

Solve the algebraic equations:

Line KN: (solve for x)

`14x-3=25`

move the 3 to the other side with addition

`14x=28`

divide by 14 to get x by itself

`x=2`

Now that we have x we can find line KL:

`9(2)+5\\18+5\\23`

So we now know that KL is 23 units. And we know that KL = LM
