Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Line JL is an angle bisector. This makes Line KJ and Link JM equal to each other.
2x - 7 = x + 5
x - 7 = 5
Let's check to see if that works:
2(12) - 7 = 12 + 5
24 - 7 = 17
17 = 17
x=12
Looking at the figure, you know the sides are equal to each other.
This means the equations are equal to each other
x+5 = 2x-7
carry the x
x-7=5
carry the 7
Please correct me if I'm wrong
