KM .
If LM = x + 7 and KM = 3x + 7, what is KM?
To find the value of x, we can start by using the given information and applying the concept that L is between K and M.
Let's start by writing down the given information:
- KL = 2x
- LM = 3x - 2
- KM = 43
Since L is between K and M, the sum of KL and LM should be equal to KM:
KL + LM = KM
Substituting the given values, we have:
2x + (3x - 2) = 43
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 3x - 2 = 43
5x - 2 = 43
5x = 45
x = 45/5
x = 9
Therefore, the value of x is 9.
2x + 3x - 2 = 43
5x = 45
x = 45/5
x = ?
