Using the equations for trapezoids:

VW = 1/2(RS + UT)

3x+5 = 1/2(2x+15 + 6x-37)

Do inside parenthesis first:

3x+5 = 1/2(8x -22)

Multiply inside the parenthesis by 1/2:

3x+5 = 4x-11

Add 11 to both sides:

3x +16 = 4x

Subtract 3x from both sides:

16 = x

Now you know x = 16 solve for RS:

2(16) + 15 = 32 +15 = 47

RS = 47
