Question

If K is the midpoint of JL, JK=7x + 3 and KL = 2x + 13 find the value of X

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

since K is at the midpoint of JL then

JK = KL , that is

7x + 3 = 2x + 13 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5x + 3 = 13 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

5x = 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 2
