Question

What’s the answer to 14

Answer 1

Explanation:

EF = 6x - 4

and it is also the combination of EG and GF.

so,

6x - 4 = EG + GF = EG + 13

6x = EG + 17

now, we have additional information. EF bisects CD. that means it cuts CD in half.

and that means both banks must be off equal size.

5x - 1 = 7x -13

12 = 2x

x = 6

so, back to the first problem

6×6 = EG + 17

36 = EG + 17

19 = EG
