Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

We are given a line segment \(HE\) with points \(G\) and \(F\) on it. The distances are labeled as follows:

  • \(HG = 10\)
  • \(GF = 3x - 2\)
  • \(HF = 14\)
  • \(FE = 2x + 5\)
Step 2: Set Up the Equation

Since \(H, G, F, E\) are collinear, the sum of the segments \(HG\), \(GF\), and \(FE\) should equal the total length \(HE\). We can write the equation as: \[ HG + GF + FE = HE \]

Step 3: Substitute Known Values

Substitute the given values into the equation: \[ 10 + (3x - 2) + (2x + 5) = 14 + (2x + 5) \]

Step 4: Simplify the Equation

Combine like terms on the left side: \[ 10 + 3x - 2 + 2x + 5 = 14 + 2x + 5 \] \[ 10 - 2 + 5 + 3x + 2x = 14 + 2x + 5 \] \[ 13 + 5x = 19 + 2x \]

Step 5: Solve for \(x\)

Isolate \(x\) by moving all \(x\)-terms to one side and constants to the other: \[ 5x - 2x = 19 - 13 \] \[ 3x = 6 \] \[ x = 2 \]

Final Answer

The value of \(x\) is \(2\).

One who is exercising should not exceed his or her maximum heart rate, which is determined basis of that person's gender, age, and resting heart rate. The table relates resting heart rate ximum heart rate for a 20-year-old man. Use a graphing calculator to model the data with a linear function. Estimate the maximum heart rate if the resting heart rate is 42, 62, 74, and 82. What is the correlation coefficient? How confident are you about using the regression line to estimate function values? Resting Heart Rate, H (in beats per minute) Maximum Heart Rate, M (in beats per minute) 50 160 60 160 70 160 80 170 The linear function that best models the data is M=0.3 H+148. The estimated maximum heart rate for the resting heart rate of 42 is beats per minute.
