Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

The length of the segment EG can be obtained as the sum of the segments EF and FG, that is:

EG = EF + FG

We are given:

EF = 4x + 14

FG = 50

EG = 144

Thus, we set the equation:

144 = 4x + 14 + 50

Simplifying:

144 = 4x + 64

Subtracting 64:

80 = 4x

Dividing by 4:

x = 80/4 = 20

x = 20
