Terms/CoefficientsMidpoints - separates a line segment into 2 equal partitions

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

K is midpoint JL. Use midpoint definition.

JK = 2x + 7

KL = 4x + 1

JK = KL

2x + 7 = 4x + 1

Step 2: Solve for x

[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: 7 = 2x + 1[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 1 on both sides: 6 = 2x[Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides: 3 = xRewrite/Rearrange: x = 3

Step 3: Find

Substitute in x: JK = 2(3) + 7Multiply: JK = 6 + 7Add: JK = 13

Substitute in x: KL = 4(3) + 1Multiply: KL = 12 + 1Add: KL = 13

Define: JL = JK + KLSubstitute in variables: JL = 13 + 13Add: JK = 26
