The value of x is 3 units.

We know that a portion of a line with two endpoints is referred to as a line segment. A line segment, in contrast to a line, has a known length. A line segment's length can be calculated using either metric measurements like millimeters or centimeters, or conventional measurements like feet or inches.

Given that FH is a line segment and FH = 18 units. G is a point on FH such that FG = 4x units and GH = 2x units.

So, we can write

4x + 2x = 18

i.e. 6x = 18

i.e. x = 18/6 = 3

Then, the value of x is 3 units. So, the first option is correct.
