Answer:

  JL = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

When K is the midpoint of JL, we have ...

  JK + KL = JL

and

  JK = KL

Using this latter equation, we can substitute the given expressions to get

  (8x+11) = (14x -1)

  12 = 6x . . . . . . . . . add 1-8x to both sides

  2 = x

Using this, we can find JL.

  JK = 8x +11 = 8(2) +11 = 27

  KL = JK = 27

  JL = JL +KL = 27 +27

  JL = 54
