Answer:

EF = 34, FG = 25

Explanation:

EG is the total of the two smaller segments, EF and FG.

Therefore:

8x-14 + 4x+1 = EG

8x-14 + 4x+1 = 59

Now we can solve this equation.

8x-14 + 4x+1 = 59

12x-13 = 59

12x = 72

x = 6

Now, we can plug in the values of x into the expressions for the lengths of EF and FG:

EF

8x-14

8(6)-14

48-14

= 34

FG

4x+1

4(6)+1

24+1

= 25
