K is the midpoint, in the line JL, equally. The space between segment JK is 2k-5. The space between segment KL is 3x-8. What is JL

Respuesta :

Answer:

JL=2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If k is the midpoint in the line JL

then

JL=JK+KL

JK=KL

substitute the given values

2x-5=3x-8

Solve for x

3x-2x=-5+8

x=3

so

JK=2x-5=2(3)-5=1 units

KL=3x-8=3(3)-8=1 units

therefore

JL=JK+KL=1+1=2 units
