Answer:

JL = 166 units

Explanation:

Given that,

JL = 9x - 5, LR = 7x - 2, and JR = 35

Let us assume that, R is the midpoint of J and L. So,

JL = JR + RL

Putting all the values,

9x - 5 =35 + 7x - 2

Taking like terms together as follows :

9x-7x = 33 + 5

2x = 38

x = 19

Put the value of x inm, JL = 9x-5

JL = 9(19)-5

JL = 166

The value of JL is 166 units.
