Suppose J is between H and K. Use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for x. Then find the length of each segment.

HJ=2x+5
JK=3x-7
KH=18

2x + 5 + 3x - 7 = 18

5x - 2 = 18

5x = 20

x = 4
Given x is the midpoint of yz. given xy =6x+4 and yz=40, fing the value of x
If J is between H and K where HJ = 2x + 5,
JK = 3x –7, and KH = 18, then x = 30.

true or flase
true
HJ=2x +5
