Answer:


JL=(3x-2)\ units

Explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that


JM=JL+LM ---> by segment addition postulate

we have


JM=5x-8\\LM=2x-6

substitute the given values


(5x-8)=JL+(2x-6)

solve for JL


JL=(5x-8)-(2x-6)\\JL=(3x-2)\ units

If JM = 5x – 8 and LM = 2x – 6, which expression represents JL?-example-1
