Question

If EF = 2x - 10, FG = 4x - 18, and EG = 26, find the values of x, EF, and FG. The drawing is not to scale.

x=4, EF=8, FG = 18
x = 9, EF = 28. FG = 54
c. r=9, EF = 8, FG = 18
d. x = 4, EF=-2. FG = -2

Answer 1

x = 9

EF = 8

FG = 18

Explanation:

2x - 10 + 4x - 18 = 26

6x -28 = 26

6x = 54

x = 54/6

x = 9

EF = (2*9)-10 = 8

FG = (4*9) - 18 = 18
