Answer 1

i dont uderstand this

Answer 2

by the segment addition postulate, we know that

EF + FG = EG

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

using substitution we can then say

(4x-6) + (3x-5) = 27

Answer 5

solve for x, then use this value of x to find EF and FG

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

thats were i get confused

Answer 8

(4x-6) + (3x-5) = 27


4x-6 + 3x-5 = 27


7x-11 = 27


x = ??

Answer 9

Answer 10

question: is EG really 27? or is there more to it?

Answer 11

no i need to find the values of x ef and eg

Answer 12

but there's no need to find EG if that's given to be 27

so that's why I'm thinking there's a typo
