k is the midpoint of JL. if JK = 6x and JL = 11 x + 4, what is JL?

Answer 1

k is the midpoint of JL. if JK = 6x and JL = 11 x + 4, what is JL?

Since K is the midpoint of JL, that means that JK=KL, and JK is half of JL.

JK=1/2 JL

6x=1/2(11x+4)

multiply both sides by 2

12x=11x+4

subtract 11x on both sides

x=4

We want to find the length of JL, so we substitute 4 for x in the JL expression

JL = 11(4)+4

JL = 44+4

JL = 48

Answer 2

JL = 2JK = 2(6x)=12x = 11x+4

x = 4

JL=11(4)+4 = 48
