Answer:
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
K is the midpoint of J and L, so
JK = KL.
[tex]5x-3=3x+1[/tex]
Add 3 to both sides:
[tex]5x-3+3=3x+1+3[/tex]
[tex]5x=3x+4[/tex]
Subtract 3x from both sides:
[tex]5x-3x=3x+4-3x[/tex]
[tex]2x=4[/tex]
Divide 2 on both sides:
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=2[/tex]
