Point H is between G and I. If HG = 8x + 7, HI = 3x - 2, and GI = 38, what would be the length of GH ?

Answer:

let's see what to do...

Explanation:

H is between G and I.

G I = G H + H I

38 = 8 x + 7 + 3x - 2

38 = 11 x + 5

subtract the sides of equation minus 5

38 - 5 = 11 x + 5 - 5

33 = 11 x

divided the sides of equation by 11

33 ÷ 11 = 11 x ÷ 11

3 = x

So the lenght of (G H) is :

8 x + 7 -----¢ 8 (3) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31

And we're done.

Thanks for watching buddy good luck.
