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)
________
Combine 8x and 14x to get 22x.
Subtract 1 from 11 to get 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
⇨
________
Now, value of JL will be,
JL = 22x + 10
Substitute the value of x.
JL = 22(2) + 10
JL = 44 + 10
⇨ So, the value of JL will be 50 units.
