Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given attachment to the question, the following can be deduced.

1. M is the midpoint of GH, given that M is the definition of midpoint.

2. GM ≅ MH, given that x = 2. So that,

GM = 5x = 5(2)

      = 10

MH = 3x + 4 = 3(2) + 4

      = 10

Thus, GM ≅ MH

3. GM = MH is the definition of congruence. This implies that they are similar.

4. 5x = 3x + 4, by substitution property of equality.

Since, x = 2 then;

5(2) = 3(2) + 4

10 - 10

5. 2x = 4, given that x = 2.

6. GH = GM + MH, by division property of equality.
