Question

Find GE

13x - 993 + 3x - 129 + 3x - 185 = 4
(13x - 993) + (3x - 185) - (3x - 129) = 4
2(3x) - 129 - 185 + 13x - 993 = 4
(3x - 129) + 4 - 13x - 993 = 3x - 185 + 4

Answer 1

Option (B)

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

To find the measure of segment GE,

Measure of HE = HG + GE and HE = HF + FE

HF + FE = HG + GE

By substituting the values of the given segments in the equation,

(3x - 129) + 4 = (13x - 993) + (3x - 185)

(13x - 993) + (3x - 185) - (3x - 129) = 4

Therefore, Option (B) will be the correct answer.
