ok
if you know GI bisects <DGH,
what do you know about <DGI and <IGH?
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
They share the same segment GI?
OpenStudy (nikato):
yes.
but theres more.
whats an angle bisector?
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
a ray that divides an angle into two congruent angles
OpenStudy (nikato):
correct.
so that means <DGI and <IGH are congruent. got it?

yes
OpenStudy (nikato):
ok.
and since you know <DGI=x-3
and <IGH=2x-13
you make them equal each other
so you get
x-3=2x-13
and you should be able to solve for x from here
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
x = -5
OpenStudy (cloverracer):
@nikato
OpenStudy (nikato):
No
x-3=2x-13
-x. -x
-------------
-3=x-13
+13. +13
------------
10=x
