    Answer:

    26 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If point F is on the line segment EG, then EF+FG = EG

    Given

    FG=8,

    EF=2x+4

    EG=4x−10

    Substitute the given values into the formula;

    2x+4+8 = 4x−10

    2x+12 = 4x-10

    collect like terms

    2x-4x = -10-12

    -2x = -22

    x = 22/2

    x =11

    Since EF = 2x+4

    EF = 2(11)+4

    EF = 22+4

    EF = 26

    Hence the numerical length of EF is 26 units
