Answer:
LM = 28 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of segment KL = (4x + 7) units
Length of segment LM = (5x - 12) units
Length of LM = 67 units
Since length of KM = length of KL + length of LM
By substituting the given values in the expression,
67 = (4x + 7) + (5x - 12)
67 = (4x + 5x) + (7 - 12)
67 = 9x - 5
9x = 67 + 5
x = [tex]\frac{72}{9}[/tex]
x = 8
Therefore,
LM = (5x - 12)
= (5×8) - 12
= 40 - 12
= 28
Length of segment KM is 28 units.
