Answer:

LK = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using segment addition

NM + ML + LK = NK

x-6  + 9 +  2x-19  = 23

Combine like terms

x+2x   -6+9-19 = 23

3x -16 = 23

Add 16 to each side

3x-16+16 = 23+16

3x = 39

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 39/3

x = 13

We want to find the value of LK

LK = 2x-19

     =2(13) -19

     = 26 -19

    = 7

Answer:

[tex]\sf \: LK = 7 \: units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It's clear that,

[tex] \sf \: NM + ML + LK = NK[/tex]

Given that,

NM ---> x - 6

ML ---> 9

LK ---> 2x - 19

NK ---> 23

First, let us find the value of x using these values.

[tex] \sf \: NM + ML + LK = NK \\ \sf x - 6 + 9 + 2x - 19 = 23 \\ \sf \: combine \: like \: terms. \\ \sf \: 3x - 16 = 23 \\ \sf3x = 23 + 16 \\ \sf3x = 39 \\ \sf \: divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 3. \\ \sf \: x = 13[/tex]

And now we have to find out the length of LK.

As we mentioned before,

LK = 2x - 19

So, to find the length of LK, we have to replace x with 13 and solve the equation.

Let us solve now.

[tex] \sf \: LK = 2x - 19 \\ \sf \: LK = 2 \times 13 - 19 \\ \sf \: LK = 26- 19 \\ \sf \: LK = 7 \: units[/tex]
