Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "If EG = 59
\n" ); document.write( "Segment EF = 8x - 14
\n" ); document.write( "Segment FG = 4x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "(8x - 14) + (4x + 1) = 59
\n" ); document.write( "Remove brackets
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 4x = 59 + 14 - 1
\n" ); document.write( "12x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Segment EF = 8x - 14
\n" ); document.write( "Segment EF = 8(6) - 14
\n" ); document.write( "Segment EF = 48 - 14
\n" ); document.write( "Segment EF = 34
\n" ); document.write( "Segment FG = 4x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Segment FG = 4(6) + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Segment FG = 24 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Segment FG = 25.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
