Answer:
[tex]JL=(3x-2)\ units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
we know that
[tex]JM=JL+LM[/tex] ---> by segment addition postulate
we have
[tex]JM=5x-8\\LM=2x-6[/tex]
substitute the given values
[tex](5x-8)=JL+(2x-6)[/tex]
solve for JL
[tex]JL=(5x-8)-(2x-6)\\JL=(3x-2)\ units[/tex]
