Question

Please answer needed

Answer 1

FG=14

Explanation:

EF+FG=EG

9+4x=6x+2

2x=7

x=7/2

FG=4x ⇒ 4(7)/2

FG=28/2

FG=14

Answer 2

FG = 14

Explanation:

set up your equation

EF + FG = EG

(9) + (4x) = (6x + 2)

simplify -- subtract 2 from each side, subtract 4x from each side

7 = 2x

divide

x = 3.5

plug x into FG

FG = 4x

FG = 4(3.5)

FG = 14

check work

9 + 4(3.5) = 6(3.5) + 2

9 + 14 = 23

23 = 23
