Answer 2

I don't know this kind of math sorry

Answer 3

What's the choices

Answer 4

oh ok thanks anyway @McDonaldsGirl<3

Answer 5

Answer chocies: a.x=5, EF=-8,FG=2
b. x=12, EF=6, FG=23
c. x=12, EF=42,FG=49
d. x=5,EF=6, FG=23

Answer 6

@Abbles

Answer 7

EF + FG = EG
(2x - 12) + (3x - 15) = 23
5x - 27 = 23
5x = 50
x = 10

EF = 2x - 12
EF = 2(10) - 12
EF = 20 - 12
EF = 8

FG = 3x - 15
FG = 3(10) - 15
FG = 30 - 15
FG = 15

Answer 8

Thanks @TheRealMeeeee

Answer 9

np

Answer 10

So 2x-18 + 3x-13 = 29
5x - 31 = 29
5x = 60
x = 12

Then plug in 12.

EF= 2x-18
EF = 2(12) - 18
EF = 24 - 18
EF = 6

FG=3x-13
FG = 3(12) - 13
FG = 36-13
FG = 23

Answer 11

@TheRealMeeeee I think you used wrong information... EF is 2x - 18 not 2x - 12

Answer 12

Oh I do

Answer 13

thanka @Abbles you are a big help
