Answer:
x= 17
HJ= 27
JK= 153
HK= 180
Step-by-step explanation:
If HJ=x+10
JK=9x
KH=14x−58
a) Draw a sketch of the segments described above
Find attached to this answer the diagram of the sketch of the segments described above
b) Write an equation using the segment addition postulate that will help you solve the problem
HJ + JK = KH
x + 10 + 9x = 14x - 58
c) combine like terms ( x terms on one side of the equal sign and numbers in the other side of the equal sign) x + 10 x + 10 + 9x = 14x - 58
10 + 58 = 14x - x -9x
68 = 14x - 10x
68 = 4x
x = 68/4
x = 17
d)
x= 17
HJ= x + 10
= 17 + 10
= 27
JK= 9x
= 9 × 17
= 153
HK=14x −58
HK = 14 × 17 - 58
= 238 - 58
= 180
