Question

Please help and show workings

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright for this type of problem the line CE is proportional to line FG meaning that the length of line CE is two times the length of EG. What we want to do is set up an equation that will help us solve for x. The equation would be

18-4x=6x-7 but because line CE is two time greater than line FG we have to multiply the side of EG by 2 so the new equation is

18-4x=12x-14 Now we can began to solve

step 1 : subtract 18 to each side

-4x=12x-32

step 2; subtract 12 from each side

-16x=-32

step 3: divide each side by -16

x=2

I Hope this Helps you out a little (:
