Question

Give EG = 5x+7 EF =5x and FG=2x-7

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 7

42, 35, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

• EG = 5x+7
• EF = 5x  
• FG = 2x-7

Point F is on line segment of EG, therefore EG = EF + FG

• 5x + 7 = 5x + 2x - 7
• 2x = 14
• x = 7

Then

• EG = 5*7 + 7 = 42
• EF = 5*7 = 35
• FG = 2*7 - 7 = 7
