Segment JI is a midsegment (given). So that means point J is a midpoint of segment HF. The midpoint cuts HF into two equal pieces. Those two pieces are HJ and JF. Therefore, HJ = JF

Using substitution, we can plug in the given expressions that the diagram shows. Then we can solve for x
HJ = JF
2x-3 = x+2
2x-3+3 = x+2+3
2x = x+5
2x-x = x+5-x
x = 5

Now that we know x = 5, use this to find the length of HG
HG = 11*x + 5
HG = 11*5 + 5
HG = 55 + 5
HG = 60

So HG is 60 inches long, which is the final answer

Note: 60 inches = 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

$T = E + P$
