Answer:
JL = 166 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
JL = 9x - 5, LR = 7x - 2, and JR = 35
Let us assume that, R is the midpoint of J and L. So,
JL = JR + RL
Putting all the values,
9x - 5 =35 + 7x - 2
Taking like terms together as follows :
9x-7x = 33 + 5
2x = 38
x = 19
Put the value of x inm, JL = 9x-5
JL = 9(19)-5
JL = 166
The value of JL is 166 units.
