K is between J and L. JK = 3x – 5, and KL = 2x + 1. IfJL = 16, what is JK? A. 7
B. 8
C. 9
D. 13

If JL = 16, we will get JK = 7

Option A is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

K is between J and L

JK = 3x – 5, and KL = 2x + 1.

IfJL = 16, what is JK

We know that K is between J and L it means it divides JL into JK and KL equally or we can say that adding JK and KL we can get JL

So, We can write:

Solving the expression we can find first value of x and then value of JK

So, we get x = 4

Now, put the value of x in JK=3x-5 to get value of JK

So, if JL = 16, we will get JK = 7

Option A is correct option.

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
