Question

5) Alex's house (point F) lies on the same street as her school (point H). Alex's bus stop (point G) lies between her

house and her school. Given FG equals (2x) meters, GH = 1,000 meters, and FH equals 1.200 meters, what is z?
Answer:​

Answer 1

100 meters

Explanation:

Given the following :

Alex house = F

Alex school = H

Alex bus stop = G

FG = 2x meters

GH = 1000meters

FH = 1200 meters

Hence,

FH = FG + GH

1200 = (2x + 1000) meters

1200 = 2x + 1000

1200 - 1000 = 2x

200 = 2x

x = 100meters

Hence, x = 100 meters
