I don’t understand stand this question someone please help me with work shown 6.

Answer:
EG = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
E___F____G
EG = EF + FG
10x -8 = (5x-2) + (3x+4)
10x - 8 = 8x +2
10x – 8x = 2 +8
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
We substitute the variable in the equation for EG .
EG = 10x – 8 = 10(5) – 8 = 50 – 8 = 42
I hope I helped you^_^
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
EG = EF + FG
10x - 8 = 5x - 2 + 3x + 4
10x - 8 = 5x + 3x - 2 + 4 {Combine like terms}
10x - 8 = 8x + 2
Add 8 to both sides
10x = 8x + 2 + 8
10x = 8x + 10
Subtract 8x from both sides
10x - 8x = 10
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 10/2
x = 5
EG = 10x - 8
= 10*5 - 8
= 50 - 8
EG = 42
