Question

Point H is on line segment \overline{GI}
GI
. Given GH=x+6,GH=x+6, HI=x+5,HI=x+5, and GI=3x+8,GI=3x+8, determine the numerical length of \overline{GH}.
GH
.

Answer 1

Just say "segment GI" all the formatting junk is just annoying. Especially the part where you repeat it needlessly.

Now. Draw the line segment and label the various data as give. Note that
GI = GH+HI
3x+8 = x+6 + x+5
x = 3
Now you can answer the question.
