Answer:

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

K is the midpoint of J and L, so

JK = KL.

[tex]5x-3=3x+1[/tex]

Add 3 to both sides:

[tex]5x-3+3=3x+1+3[/tex]

[tex]5x=3x+4[/tex]

Subtract 3x from both sides:

[tex]5x-3x=3x+4-3x[/tex]

[tex]2x=4[/tex]

Divide 2 on both sides:

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]
