You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Steps done here on paper are not very neat, but I found \"IJ=36\"; and knowing the given \"GI=24\", simply using segment addition postulate gives \"GI%2BIJ=24%2B36=highlight%2860%29\".\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note that in my separate work not shown, the ratio relationships given can easily be converted into simple linear equations.
\n" ); document.write( "\"3GH=HI\", \"2HI=IJ\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, \"GH%2BHI=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29HI%2BHI=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%284%2F3%29HI=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"HI=%283%2F4%2924\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28HI=18%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
