Question

F is between E and G. E, F, and G are collinear. EG = 29x – 3 ; EF = 6x + 12; FG = 13x + 5. Find EG.

Answer 1

EG=55

Explanation:

EF+FG=EG

(6x+12)+(13x+5)=29x-3

19x+17=29x-3

20=10x

2=x

29x-3

29(2)-3

58-3

55

Check

(6x+12)+(13x+5)

((6(2)+12))+((13(2)+5))

(12+12)+(26+5)

24+31

55
