    If FG=11, GH=x-2, and FH=3x-11, what is FH

    By segment addition, we have:
    FG + GH = FH
    11 + x - 2 = 3x - 11

    To solve this equation for x, we type it in or math engine and we get:
    x = 10

    FH = 3x - 11. So we substitute x = 10 into this:
    FH = 3(10) - 11
    FH = 30 - 11
    FH = 19
