Answer:

Equation → 5y = 3y + 6

Value of ST = 15

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

In right triangles ΔVST and ΔVUT,

Acute angles ∠SVT ≅ ∠UVT [Given]

TV ≅ TV [By reflexive property of congruence]

ΔVST ≅ ΔVUT [Hypotenuse angle congruence of right triangles]

Therefore, corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.

Therefore, ST ≅ TU

5y = 3y + 6

5y - 3y = 6

2y = 6

y = 3

Therefore, ST = 5y

ST = 5(3)

= 15
