if line EF=2x+1, line FG=4 and line HI=3x+11 x equals?
To find the value of x, we need to use the information given about the lines EF, FG, and HI and set up an equation.
We have the equation for line EF: EF = 2x + 1
We know that line FG has a length of 4 units, so FG = 4
And we have the equation for line HI: HI = 3x + 11
To find the value of x, we can equate the lengths of EF and FG to find the value of x, and then substitute that value into the equation for HI.
EF = FG
2x + 1 = 4
Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of x:
2x + 1 = 4
Subtract 1 from both sides:
2x = 3
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 3/2 or 1.5
Therefore, x equals 3/2 or 1.5.
