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( "
\n" );
