Question

If EF = 2x-7, FG = 4x-20, and EG = 21, find the values of x, EF, and FG.

Answer 1

Given -:

EF = 2X-7

FG = 4X-20

EG = 21

FIND OUT

EF =?

FG = ?

To proof

as given in the question

we have the value of EF = 2X-7 , FG = 4X-20 and EG = 21

Thus we have

EG = EF + FG

21 = 2X-7 + 4X- 20

21 = 6x - 27

48 = 6x

x = 8

Hence proved

Now put this value

$EF = 2\times 8 - 7\\EF = 9$

Now

$FG = 4\times 8 - 20\\FG = 12$

Hence proved
