I am stomped on the following question
Which is greater judging from the number line if $\rm JL = KM.$
a) $\rm JK$
b) $\rm LM$
(Answer : Both are the same)
I would like to know how they concluded both are same ?

Hint:
We have $\rm JL = JK + KL$ and $\rm KM = KL + LM.$ (Exercise: why does these equalities hold?). Equate, simplify, and conclude.
