Question

If FG = 3x, GH = x + 2, and FH = 10, what is GH?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

It's given to us that FG and GH are on the line FH. This can also be represented with FG + GH = FH. Let's write that as an equation.

FG + GH = FH
(3x) + (x + 2) = 10
4x + 2 = 10
4x = 8
x = 2

Now that we know that x is 2, let's input it in and find GH.

(2) + 2 = 4
