Answer:

x = 3

y = -4

Explanation:

All my work is in the picture.

KL is equal to JM and JK is equal to LM

so you just have to make their equations equal to eachother and then solve

I decided to solve by subtracting each set of equations from eachother to first eliminate x to find y and then putting in y into one of the equations

Answer:

x=3

y=–4

Explanation:

kl=JM

3x+y=5

Jk=LM

3x-4y=25

3x+y=5

3x-4y=25

-5y=20

y=-20/5

y=-4

3x+y=5

3x+(-4)=5

3x=5+4

3x=9

x=3
