Answer:
JL = 68
Step-by-step explanation:
JM = ML
Hence, 3x + 4 = 5x - 16
Subtract 3x from both sides
4 = 2x - 16
Add 16 to both sides
20 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
10 = x
Now we want to find JL
Note that JL = JM + ML
JM = 3x + 4 and x = 10
Substitute 10 for x
3(10) + 4
Multiply
30 + 4
Add
JM = 34
Because JM = ML
We simply multiply 34 times 2 to find the length of JL
34 * 2 = 68
JL = 68
