Answer:

x = 5

JK = 80 units

Explanation:

JM = MK

JM = 7x + 5 MK = 8x

7x + 5 = 8x

5 = 8x - 7x

5 = 1x

x = 5/1

x = 5

(7x + 5) + (8x) = JK

(7(5) + 5) + (8(5)) = JK

(35 + 5) + 40 = JK

40 + 40 = JK

80 = JK

JK = 80 units

Answer:

x=5

JK = 40 units

Explanation:

JM=MK since the have the little red line which shows they are equal

7x+5 = 8x

Subtract 7x from each side

7x+5 -7x= 8x-7x

5 = x

JK = 7x+5 = 7(5)+5 = 35+5 = 40
