Step-by-step explanation:

Oh these are tricky ways to see the question in different ways, it's okay that you need help on this b/c it's kinda like a mind puzzle.
so first notice that EG is the total length
87 = something
next notice that we have two parts FG and EF
if those are added together we get the total or EG
so add the parts and set the equal to the total
87 = EF + FG
87 = 4x + 11 + 28
now we can solve for x, recall solving me "isolate x" :P soo
87-28-11 = 4x
48 = 4x
12 = x
yay
6)
EG = EF + FG
15 = 3x - 17 + 2x-8
15+17+8 =3x +2x
40 =5x
8 = x
yay
so do you see how to do those now? :?
