Respuesta :

FG = 9x

3x + 9x = 72

12x = 72

x = 6

Answer:

9x

Step-by-step explanation:

EF = 3x. FG is  three times as long  as EF.

3 times as long as EF means we need to multiply EF by 3

[tex]FG= 3 times EF[/tex]

[tex]FG= 3 \cdot EF[/tex]

Now replace EF by 3x

[tex]FG= 3 \cdot EF[/tex]

[tex]FG= 3 \cdot 3x[/tex]

[tex]FG= 9x[/tex]

So FG is 9x
