If you add 8x and 14x it will give you 22x

If you subtract 11-1 you have 10.

so the answer is 22x -10

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

  • Find the measure of JL.


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

Given, K is the midpoint of JL. So, JK = KL.

  • KL = 14x - 1
  • JK = 8x + 11
  • JL = ?

________

JL = JK + KL (given that K is the midpoint of JL)

JL = (8x + 11) + (14x - 1)

________


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Steps} \downarrow}


\sf( 8 x + 11 ) + ( 14 x - 1 )

Combine 8x and 14x to get 22x.


\sf \: 22x+11-1

Subtract 1 from 11 to get 10.


\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf22x+10 }}

________

Also given that, JK = KL.

So, (8x + 11) = (14x - 1)

⇨ (8x + 11) = (14x - 1)

⇨ 8x + 11 = 14x - 1

⇨ 11 + 1 = 14x - 8x

⇨ 12 = 6x

⇨ x = 12 / 6


\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf \: x= 2 }}

________

Now, value of JL will be,

JL = 22x + 10

Substitute the value of x.

JL = 22(2) + 10

JL = 44 + 10


\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\: JL = 50 }}

So, the value of JL will be 50 units.
