Answer:

1st Option;

j = 4.5

k = 2

Explanation:

Let's solve for "j" first:

=> We know that by the definition of midpoint segment theorem we can say;

3j = 5j - 9

0 = 5j - 3j - 9

0 = 2j - 9

0 + 9 = 2j

9 = 2j

9/2 = j

4.5 = j

=> Now that we have j-value we use the same method to solve for k-value;

6k = k + 10

6k - k = 10

5k = 10

k = 10/5

k = 2

Therefore;

j = 4.5

k = 2

So the first option would be correct!

Hope this helps!
