Answer:
JL = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
If K is the midpoint of the segment, then JK = KL
JK = KL
9x-1 = 2x+27
Subtract 2x from each side
9x-2x -1 = 2x+27-2x
7x-1 = 27
Add 1 to each side
7x-1+1 = 27+1
7x = 28
Divide each side by 7
7x/7 = 28/7
x =4
But we want to find JL
JL = JK + KL
JL = 9x-1 +2x+27
Combine like terms
JL = 11 x+ 26
Substitute x =4
JL = 11*4+26
JL = 44+26
JL = 70
