Question 586676: L is the midpoint of segment C D. If CL=1/3 x+8 and LD=2/3 x-4, find the length of segment CD.
ALSO:
M is the midpoint of segment JK. The coordinates of J are (6,3) and the coordinates of M are (-3,4). Find the coordinates of K.

Since L is the midpoint, CL = LD. Hence:



Solve for . Use the value of to calculate either the measure of CL or LD then multiply that value by 2.
