Answer:

GK = 10x+1

GH = 16.4

HK = 20.6

Explanation:

Given the expressions 4x+2=GH, 6x-1=HK and GK = 37, according to vector addition GH + HK = GK

Substituting the functions into the formula we will have:

GK = 4x+2 + 6x-1

collect like terms

GK = 4x+6x +2-1

GK = 10x+1

The algebraic expression that represents GK is 10x+1.

To get the value of x, since GK = 37

10x+1 = 37

10x = 37-1

10x = 36

x = 36/10

x = 3.6

Since GH =4x+2, substitute x = 3.6 into the function

GH = 4(3.6)+2

GH = 14.4+2

GH = 16.4

Also HK = 6x-1

HK = 6(3.6)-1

HK = 21.6-1

HK = 20.6

Hence the algebraic expression that represents GK is 10x + 1 and the value GH is 16.4, HK is 20.6
