Question

Point G lies between points F and H on Line segment F H.

A line contains points F, G, H. The space between F and G is 4 x. The space between G and H is 2 x.
If the length of FH is 18 units, what is the value of x?

Answer 2

We get the value of x: x = 3

Explanation:

Point G lies between points F and H on Line segment F H.

Space between F and G = 4x

Space between G and H = 2x

Length of FH = 18

We need to find value of x.

As point G lies between point F and H, sum of FG and GH will give FH, we can write

`FG + GH = FH`

Putting values to make equation

`4x + 2x = 18`

Now, solving the equation we can find value of x

`4x + 2x = 18 \\6x=18\\x=(18)/(6)\\x=3`

So, we get the value of x: x = 3
