Answer:

JK = 11

Explanation:

JK ≅ JM

where

JK = 3x - 16

JM = 2x - 7

3x - 16 = 2x - 7

group like terms

3x - 2x = 16 - 7

x = 9

plugin x=9 into JK

JK = 3x - 16

JK = 3(9) - 16

JK = 11

KJ and JM are the same line length and angle so we can write an equation.

3x - 16 = 2x - 7

Solution:

3x - 16 = 2x - 7

3x = 2x + 11

x = 11

Substitute 11 for x for JK.

3x - 16

3(11) - 16

33 - 16

17

Therefore, JK = 17

Best of Luck!
