Answer:

x=12

Explanation:

Looking at the figure, you know the sides are equal to each other.

This means the equations are equal to each other

x+5 = 2x-7

carry the x

x-7=5

carry the 7

x=12

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

Line JL is an angle bisector. This makes Line KJ and Link JM equal to each other.

2x - 7 = x + 5

x - 7 = 5

x = 12

Let's check to see if that works:

2(12) - 7 = 12 + 5

24 - 7 = 17

17 = 17
