Question

helpppp please i dont get this

Answer 1

Those tickmarks tell us that JK = JL
The angles opposite these sides are the same measure
So angle L = angle K
These are the congruent base angles

This leads to the equation
2x+33 = 3x+25

Are you able to solve for x?

i can try

Answer 3

ok tell me what you get

Answer 4

i got x is 8

Answer 5

Correct, so this means
angle L = 2x+33 = 2*8+33 = 16+33 = 49
angle K = 3x+25 = 3*8+25 = 24+25 = 49
Both L and K are 49 degrees each, so this confirms you have the correct x value.

If we know that angles L and K are 49, then how can we find angle J?

that means i have to add 49 plus 49 which gives me 98 and then i take that from 180 so000 angle J is 82, is that right

Answer 7

That's correct

Answer 8

J = 82
L = 49
K = 49

J+K+L = 82+49+49 = 180

Answer 9

oh my thanks so much

Answer 10

No problem
