Question

H and J are both between G and K such that GH = JK and H is between G and J.

Given: GH=x+10
HJ=8
JK=2x-4
Find GJ.
GJ=

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

So the order of the points is: GHJK

GH = x+10 =JK

HJ=8

JK=2x-4

JK = x+10=2x-4

x+10=2x-4

10+4=2x-x

x=14

GH= 14+10 =24

GJ = GH +HJ = 24+ 8=32
