Question

Using the following image, solve for FG. Х E X-7 • G F 11 FG =

Answer 1

According to the image the segment EG is equal to 11, this is also the addition of segment EF, x, and segment FG, x-7.

According to this the segment EG can be written in an equation like this

`\begin{gathered} EG=EF+FG \\ 11=(x)+(x-7) \end{gathered}`

Solve this expression to find the value of x

`\begin{gathered} 11=2x-7 \\ 11+7=2x \\ 2x=18 \\ x=(18)/(2) \\ x=9 \end{gathered}`

After having the value of x
