LM is equal to 6 units.

The point L is between points K and M on a line. The distance from K to L is represented by KL

The distance from L to M is represented by LM,

The distance between points K and L is 11 units and the total distance from K to M is 17 units.

The total distance from K to M is represented by KM.

KL + LM = KM

11 + LM = 17

LM = 17 - 11

LM = 6

Therefore, LM is equal to 6 units.
