Answer:
[tex]JL=3x-2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : If JM=5x-8 and LM=2x-6.
To find : Which expression represents JL?
Solution :
To analyse the question refer the attached figure below.
We know that,
[tex]JM=JL+LM[/tex]
Here, JM=5x-8 and LM=2x-6
Substitute the values,
[tex]5x-8=JL+2x-6[/tex]
[tex]JL=5x-8-2x+6[/tex]
[tex]JL=3x-2[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]JL=3x-2[/tex]
