Question

Alex’s house (point F) lies on the same street as her school (point H). Alex’s bus stop (point G) lies between her house and her school.
Given FG = (2x) meters, GH = 1,000 meters, and FH = 1,200 meters, what is x?

Answer 1

2X+1000=1200
=> 2X = 1200 - 1000
=> 2X = 200
=> X = 100 meters
Because FG + GH = FH
Or : 2X + 1000= 1200
