Answer:
JL = 62 (units)
Step-by-step explanation:
OK, Here we can use the part whole postulates theorem to assist us:
JL consists of parts JK + KL such that, through substitution,
5x + 2 = 27 + ( 3x - 1 )
Here we can solve for x to determine 5x + 2, and thus the value of JL:
5x + 2 = 27 + 3x - 1
2x + 2 = 27 - 1
2x + 2 = 26
2x = 24
x = 12
Substitute the value of x for 5x + 2, to get JL:
JL = 5 (12) + 2
JL = 60 + 2
JL = 62 (units)
