Answer: shown below

DS + ST = DT by the Segment Addition Postulate. So, we can substitute and find X.

(2x - 8) + (3x - 12) = 60

2x - 20 + 3x = 60
5x - 20 = 60

5x = 80

x = 16

We can double check and use this to find DS and ST.

DS = 2(16) - 8

DS = 32 - 8

DS = 24

DT = 3(16) - 12

DT = 48 - 12

DT = 36

24 + 36 = 60, so X is 16.
