As it is worded, printed and presented in the post, the problem is INCOMPLETE.
To be complete, it should say that the point G lies on the straight line between
the points F and H. I will assume it, by default.
Then FG + GH = FH, or
(x+3) + (4x) = 8.
It implies
5x = 8 - 3
5x = 5
x = 5/5 = 1
FG = x+3 = 1 + 3 = 4.
ANSWER. Under the accepted assumption, FG = 4.
Solved.
