Answer:
JK = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
JK ≅ JM
where
JK = 3x - 16
JM = 2x - 7
3x - 16 = 2x - 7
group like terms
3x - 2x = 16 - 7
x = 9
plugin x=9 into JK
JK = 3(9) - 16
KJ and JM are the same line length and angle so we can write an equation.
Solution:
3x = 2x + 11
x = 11
Substitute 11 for x for JK.
3x - 16
3(11) - 16
33 - 16
17
Therefore, JK = 17
Best of Luck!
