Question

If EG=10x+20, FG=43. EG=183, find the value of x.

Answer 1

Option (3)

Explanation:

Given: EF = 10x + 20

FG = 43

EG = 183

From the figure attached,

Length of segment EF + length of segment FG = length of segment EG

By substituting the values of each segment in the equation,

(10x + 20) + 43 = 183

10x + 20 = 183 - 43

10x = 140 - 20

x =
`(120)/(10)`

x = 12

Therefore, x = 12 will be the answer.

Option (3) will be the correct option.
