JL = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that K is the midpoint of JL.

So, JK = KL (1)

Now, given that, JK =3x - 1 and KL = 2x + 8  

Therefore, from equation (1), we can write  

3x - 1 = 2x + 8

⇒ x = 9

So, JK = 3x - 1 = 3(9) -1 = 26 and KL = 2x + 8 = 2(9) + 8 = 26

Hence, JL = JK + KL = 26 + 26 = 52. (Answer)

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

twenty-six miles over two gallons because the proportion for the original 13 miles to one gallon would be written 13/1 and, doing the same thing to the top and bottom, i multiplied by 2 and got 26/2
