Question

Given angle EFG has angle bisector FH, where EF = GF, find the value of y if EH = 5y + 10 and HG = 28 - y.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

*As seen in the photo, the fact that EF = GF and the bisector being there makes EH = HG.

5y + 10 = 28 - y

*Add y to both sides.

6y + 10 = 28

*Subtract 10 from both sides.

6y = 18

*Divide both sides by 6.

y = 3
