Answer:

GH = 9

Explanation:

Note:

GI = GH + HI

Plug in the corresponding terms to the corresponding variables:

3x + 8 = (x + 6) + (x + 5)

First, simplify. Combine like terms:

3x + 8 = (2x) + (11)

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 2x and 8 from both sides:

3x (-2x) + 8 (-8) = 2x (-2x) + 11 (-8)

3x - 2x = 11 - 8

x = 3

Plug in 3 for x in the length of GH.

GH = x + 6

GH = 3 + 6

GH = 9

9 is the numerical length of GH.
