Question

Point G lies between points F and H on . If the length of FH is 18 units, what is the value of x? 3 4 5 6

Answer 1

Point G lies between points F and H on .

If the length of FH is 18 units, what is the value of x?

the answer is 3 .

Answer 2

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

`FH=FG+GH`

`FH=18` -------> equation
`1`

`FH=4x+2x`

`FH=6x` -------> equation
`2`

equate equation
`1` and equation
`2`

`18=6x`

`x=3`

therefore

the answer is

`x=3`
