Problem
Point g is on line segment fh. given fh = 4x, gh = x, and fg = 2x + 10,
determine the numerical length of fg.
Solution
From the ingo given we can set up the following equation:
fh= fg + gh
And if we replace we got:
4x= 2x+10 +x
And solving for x we got:
4x = 3x +10
x=10
And now we can find the value of fg like this:
fg= 2*10 + 10 = 20 +10=30
