Well if FG is 4x and GH is 2x the you add them to get 6x for FH. Solve for x so 6x=18 which means x=3. Hope this helps

we know that


FH=FG+GH

In this problem we have


FH=18\ units\\FG=4x\\GH=2x

substitute in the formula above


18=4x+2x

solve for x


6x=18


x=18/6


x=3\ units

therefore

the answer is

The value of x is
3\ units
