Question

Find JM,,,

after crying for like over an hour, I've started my homework but my teacher is POS and I don't understand this one because whenever I do it, its unequal??

Answer 1

mJM = 1

Explanation:

Line Segment JM is congruent to line segment ML.

Step 1: Set equation

mJM = mML

mJM = 6x + 7

mML = 4x + 5

6x + 7 = 4x + 5

Step 2: Solve for x

2x + 7 = 5

2x = -2

x = -1

Step 3: Find mJM

mJM = 6x + 7

mJM = 6(-1) + 7

mJM = -6 + 7

mJM = 1
