Answer:

  27 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A midpoint divides a line segment into two congruent parts. K being the midpoint of segment JL means ...

  JK = KL

  8x +11 = 14x -1 . . . . . substitute given expressions

  12 = 6x . . . . . . . . add 1 -8x

  2 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 6

Then the length of JK is ...

  8x +11 = 8(2) +11 = 27

JK is 27 units long.
