Answer:
[tex]ML=9,MN=8[/tex]
[tex]MK=ML+LK[/tex]
[tex]9+-3+x[/tex]
[tex]=9-3+x[/tex]
[tex]MK=6+x[/tex]
[tex]ME=MN+NE[/tex]
[tex]ME=8+x[/tex]
Now using Secant secant theorem:-
[tex]ML*MK=MN*ME[/tex]
[tex]9(6+x)=8(8+x)[/tex]
[tex]54+9x=64+8x[/tex]
Subtracting 8x and 54 on both sides:-
[tex]54+9x-8x-54=64+8x-8x-54[/tex]
[tex]x=10[/tex]
[tex]KL=-3+x[/tex]
[tex]KL=-3+10[/tex]
[tex]KL=7[/tex]
so, your answer is C) 7
