Question 376792: E,G and N are three points on a line. E is between G and N. The coordinate of G which is less than the coordinate of N is -6. If GE=8cm and the distance between E and N is 4 cm more than twice the distance between G and E. what are the coordinates of E and N?

G < E < N

G: -6
GE = 8 cm ---> E = -6 + 8 = 2
EN = 20 cm ---> N = 2 + 20 = 22
