Answer:

Part 1) b=2

Part 2) GH=9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If H is between G and I

then

$GI=GH+HI$ -----> by addition segment postulate

Solve for GH

$GH=GI-HI$ -----> equation A

step 1

Find out the value of b

we have

$HI=4b-5\\HI=3$

equate the equations

$4b-5=3$

solve for b

adds 5 both sides

$4b=8$

Divide by 4 both sides

$b=2$

step 2

Find out the value of GH

$GH=GI-HI$

substitute the values

$GH=5b+2-3$

$GH=5b-1$

substitute the value of b

$GH=5(2)-1=9\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Use\\\\a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\\dfrac{a^n}{b^n}=\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^n\\=================\\A.\ 3^{x+1}=3^x\cdot 3\neq3^x\\\\B.\ 3\cdot3^{x-1}=3\cdot3^x\cdot3^{-1}=(3^1\cdot3^{-1})\cdot3^x=3^{1+(-1)}\cdot3^x=3^0\cdot3^x=1\cdot3^x=3^x\\\\C.\ \dfrac{18^x}{3}\neq3^x\\\\D.\ \left(\dfrac{18}{6}\right)^x=(3)^x=3^x\\\\E.\ x^3\neq3^x\\\\F.\ \dfrac{18^x}{6^x}=\left(\dfrac{18}{6}\right)^x=(3)^x=3^x$
