K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
To solve for x, Steve sets up the following equation: 2x + 5 = 50
Explain the error in Steve's equation.
steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
