Answer:

JK=12

KI=16

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]K\in\ [JI]\ \Rightarrow\ |JK|+| KI |=|KI|\\\\x^2-4x+3x-2=28\\\\\Longleftrightarrow\ x^2-x-30=0\\\\\\\Longleftrightarrow\ x^2+5x-6x-30=0\\\\\\\Longleftrightarrow\ x(x+5)-6(x+5)=0\\\\\\\Longleftrightarrow\ (x+5)(x-6)=0\\\\x=-5\ (excluded)\ or\x=6\\\\\\\Longleftrightarrow\ \\|JK|=x^2-4x=6^2-4*6=36-24=12\\|KI|=3x-2=3*6-2=18-2=16\\\\Proof: 12+16=28\\[/tex]
