Question

There is a line segment `EFG`. If `EF = 10x + 10, FG = 22,` and `EG = 182`, what is the value of `x`?

Answer 1

`15`

Explanation:

In the line `EFG`, `EF+FG=EG`, since here `F` is given as the midpoint of the line from the notation.

`:.10x+10+22=182`

`10x+32=182`

`10x=150`

`x=150/10=15`
