SOLUTION: POINT j is H & K on HK . Use the given information to write an equation in terms of x. Solve the equation. Then find HJ and HK HJ=5x-4 JK=8x-10 KH=38

Question 1121700: POINT j is H & K on HK . Use the given information to write an equation in terms of x. Solve the equation. Then find HJ and HK
HJ=5x-4
JK=8x-10
KH=38
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i think your line is HJK
pont J is between points H and K.
this results in HJ + JK = HK

if so, then 5x-4 + 8x-10 = 38

combine like terms to get 13x - 14 = 38

add 14 to both sides of the equation to get 13x = 52

divide both sides of the equation by 13 to get x = 52/13 = 4
