Question

Point Fis on line segment EG. EG = 100, EF = 4x - 20, and FG = 2x + 30. Write an equation that you would use to solve for x, then state the value of x, and the length
of line segments EF and FG.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment = EG

point on a line segment = F

EG = 100

EF = 4x - 20

FG = 2x + 30

a/q, EF + FG = EG

the equation is

4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

now solution for x is

→ 4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

→ 6x + 10 = 100

→ 6x = 100 - 10 = 90

→ x = 90/6 = 15

therefore, value of x is 15.

and according to given information

EF = 4x - 20 = 4(15) - 20 = 60 - 20 = 40

FG = 2x + 30 = 2(15) + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60

hope this answer helps you dear..take care and may u have a great day ahead!
