Answer:

FG=58 X=11

Explanation:

I'm assuming your looking for the whole segment. What I did was 3x-4=5x-26. We first have to find X. So just use the equation to find X. You should get X=11 if you did it the way I set it up. Then you plug it in with the measures you got. So FM = 3(11)-4 and 5(11)-26. You should get 29 for both. If your looking for FG, you would add those two together. So 29+29= 58. FG=58. there you go.
