Respuesta :
Well, assuming E is the beginning, F is the middle, and G is the end, then
9x+14+56=250
9x=250-(56+14)
9x=250-70
9x=180
9x/9=180/9
X=20
The whole E to G is 250, and it gave you lengths between it
9x+14+56=250
9x=250-(56+14)
9x=250-70
9x=180
9x/9=180/9
X=20
The whole E to G is 250, and it gave you lengths between it
Answer:
Value of x =20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: EF = 9x+14 units , FG = 56 units and EG = 250 units.
Segment Addition Postulates states the following for 3 points that are collinear.
i.e, Let three points A, B and C are collinear and B is between A and C.
i,e AC = AB + BC
By Segment addition postulates; solve for x;
EG = EF + FG
Substitute the given values we get;
250 = 9x + 14 + 56
or
250 = 9x + 70
Subtract 70 on both sides we get;
250 -70 = 9x + 70 -70
Simplify:
180 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9 we get;
[tex]\frac{180}{9} = \frac{9x}{9}[/tex]
Simplify:
x = 20
Therefore, the value of x =20
