Answer:
[tex]GQ =25[/tex] --- GoTV
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]GQ = 2x + 3[/tex]
[tex]GH= 5x - 5[/tex]
Required
Find GQ
Since Q is the midpoint, then:
[tex]GH = 2 * GQ[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]5x - 5 = 2[2x+3][/tex]
Open bracket
[tex]5x - 5 = 4x+6[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]5x - 4x = 5+6[/tex]
[tex]x =11[/tex]
We have:
[tex]GQ =2x+3[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]GQ =2*11+3[/tex]
[tex]GQ =25[/tex]
