Answer :
If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL
JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7
The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
x = 4
JL = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14
KL = JK = 7
JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7
The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
x = 4
JL = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14
KL = JK = 7
