[tex]{ \tt{ \overline{GE} \cong \overline{ON}}}[/tex]

[tex] { \large{ \tt{2x - 6 = x + 3}}} \\ { \large{ \tt{2x + x = 6 - 3}}} \\ { \large{ \tt{3x = 3}}} \\ { \large{ \tt{x = (3)(3)}}} \\ { \large{ \green{ \tt{x = 9}}}}[/tex]

Substitute 2x-6

[tex]{ \large{ \tt{2x - 6}}} \\ { \large{ \tt{2(9) - 6}}} \\ { \large{ \tt{18 - 6}}} \\ { \green{ \boxed{ \large{ \tt{GE = 12}}}}}[/tex]
