Algebra.Com's Answer #605687 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! KH, or HK is the whole line, it is 22. \n" ); document.write( "HJ is x/4 \n" ); document.write( "JK is 3x-4 \n" ); document.write( "These last two must add to 22, since they together comprise the line.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x/4)+(3x-4)=22 \n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 4 to clear fractions, \n" ); document.write( "x+4(3x-4)=4(22) \n" ); document.write( "Distribute \n" ); document.write( "x+12x-16=88 \n" ); document.write( "13x=104 \n" ); document.write( "x=8 \n" ); document.write( "Check \n" ); document.write( "8//4=2 That is HJ \n" ); document.write( "24-4=20 That is JK \n" ); document.write( "They add to 22. \n" ); document.write( " |
