Answer 2

A: 35

Explanation:

DG is the combined segments DO and OG. In other words:

`DG=DO+OG`

We know that DG is 60. DO is (4x-3) and OG is (2x+21). So, substitute:

`60=(4x-3)+(2x+21)`

Solve for x. Combine like terms:

`60=6x+18`

Subtract 18 from both sides:

`42=6x`

Divide both sides by 6. Hence, the value of x is:

`x=7`

GO is defined as (2x+21).

So, to find GO, we can now substitute 7 for x and evaluate. Therefore:

`GO=2(7)+21=14+21=35`

Hence, our answer is A.
