Answer:

EG = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that line q bisects EG at T , then

ET = TG  ( substitute values )

\frac{1}{3} x = x - 2 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

x = 3x - 6 ( subtract x from both sides )

0 = 2x - 6 ( add 6 to both sides )

6 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

3 = x

Then

ET = \frac{1}{3} x = \frac{1}{3} × 3 = 1

TG = x - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1

Thus

EG = ET + TG = 1 + 1 = 2 units

EG = \frac{4x}{3} - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

( <em>First check the attached image for diagram</em> )

EG=ET+TG

Substituting the given values,

EG =  \frac{1}{3}x + (x - 2)

Opening the brackets and multiplying,

EG =  \frac{1 \times x}{3} + x - 2

=  > EG =  \frac{x}{3} + x - 2

Finding LCM,

=  > EG = ( \frac{x}{3} +  \frac{x \times 3}{1 \times 3} ) - 2

=  > EG = ( \frac{x}{3} +  \frac{3x}{3}) - 2

Combining them,

EG =( \frac{x + 3x}{3}) - 2

EG =  \frac{4x}{3} - 2

Note:- T is midpoint of EG

because ET = TG
