Point J is between H and K on line segment HK. use th given information to write an equation in terms of x. Solve the equation. Then find HJ and JK.

HJ=(x/4)
JK= 3x - 4
KH = 22

3 answers

clearly, HJ+JK=HK, so

x/4 + 3x-4 = 22

now just solve for x and evaluate the distances

ok, I got X = 2

is 2 correct for X?
