Answer:
X=6
FG=31
GH=22
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: FG+GH=FH
rewrite with values
4x+7 + 5x-8 = 53
combine like terms
9x-1 = 53
add 1 to both sides
9x = 54
divide by 9
x = 6
use 6 end solve for FG and GH
FG = 4(6) + 7 = 31
GH = 5(6) - 8 = 22
Check your answers.. Do FG and GH add up to equal FH (53)?
31 + 22 = 53
I hope this made sense.
