The image suggests that RST is an isosceles triangle, and that RW is the height for the base TS. This means that TW=WS, because W is the midpoint of TS.

So, you have


2x+2 = 4x-12

Subtract 2x from both sides:


2 = 2x-12

Add 12 to both sides:


14 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:


x = 7

TW = SW the ticks marks show they are congruent

2x + 2 = 4x - 12 substitution

2 = 2x - 12 subtraction property of equality

14 = 2x addition property of equality

7 = x division property of equality

Answer: D
