Given,

  • HK is the perpendicular bisector of GJ. So, GK = KJ.
  • GK = 2x + 10
  • KJ = 3x - 15

_______________

Find KJ .

_______________

First find the value of x

[tex] \sf \: GK \: = KJ \\\sf 2x + 10 = 3x - 15 \\\sf 2x - 3x = - 15 - 10 \\ \sf - x = - 25 \\ \sf \: - > \boxed{\bf \: x = 25}[/tex]

Now, find the value of KJ.

[tex]\sf3x - 15 \\ \sf= 3(25) - 15 \\ \sf=7 5 - 15 \\ = \boxed{\bf \: 60}[/tex]

-> The value of KJ is 60.

Answer:

KJ = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the length of KJ we must find the value of x

Perpendicular bisectors split lines into two EQUAL parts.

If GJ is bisected then the two parts that make it up are equal to each other.

In other words GK = KJ

If GK = 2x + 10 and KJ = 3x - 15 then

2x + 10 = 3x -15

Solve for x

2x + 10 = 3x -15

Subtract 2x from both sides

10 = x - 15

Add 15 to both sides

x = 25

Now to find KJ we simply plug in the value of x into KJ's given expression

Expression given: 3x - 15

x = 25

KJ = 3(25) - 15

Multiply 3 and 25

KJ = 75 - 15

Subtract

KJ = 60
