Question

If JK = x + 8, KL = 10, and JL = 7x, what is JK?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 is the jk because x + 8 is 10

I hope it will help

Answer 2

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It's clear that,

JL = JK + KL

Given that,

JK ⇒ ( x + 8 )

KL ⇒ 10

JL ⇒ 7x

So, by using these data we can make an expression like this.

JL = JK + KL

7x = x + 8 + 10

Now make x the subject and find the value of x.

7x = x + 8 + 10

7x = x + 18

7x - x = 18

6x = 18

6x/6 = 18/6

x = 3

And now let us find the value of JK.

JK ⇒ x + 8

To, find the value of JK we have to replace with 3.

JK ⇒ x + 8

JK ⇒ 3 + 8

JK ⇒ 11 units
