Question

If EF = 10x +20, FG = 43. EG = 183, find the value of x. The drawing is not to scale. F 1​

Answer 1

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

EF = 10x +20

FG = 43

EG = 183

The following expression is true for the given datas.

EF+FG = EG

Substitute the given data into the expression

(10x+20)+43 = 183

Solve for the unknown value x

10x+63 = 183

10x = 183-63

10x = 120

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10 = 120/10

x = 12

Hence the value of x is 12.
