Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of segments is used:
EF +FG = EG
3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions
8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2
18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x
6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3
The value of the variable is 6.

<em>Check</em>
The segment lengths are ...
EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18
FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46
EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct
To find slope : y2- y1 / x2 - x1
we have ( -5 , 1 ) which is ( x1 , y1 )
and ( -2 , 7 ) is ( x2 , y2 )
so; 7 - 1 / -2 - (-5)
6/3
= <u>2</u>
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,83,89,97
those are the prime numbers
I think it's psychology.
