Question

Someone help please With geometry

Answer 1

RT = 9

Explanation:

R x - 2 S 4x - 9 T

+-------------------------------+--------------------------+

x + 5

RT = RS + ST

x + 5 = x - 2 + 4x - 9

x + 5 = 5x - 11

-4x = -16

x = 4

RT = x + 5

RT = 4 + 5

RT = 9

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

RT = ST + RS

RT = x + 5, ST = 4x - 9, RS = x - 2

x + 5 = 4x - 9 + x - 2

Combine like terms

x + 5 = 5x - 11

Add 11 to both sides

x + 16 = 5x

Subtract x from both sides

16 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

4 = x

Find RT

RT = x + 5

x = 4

RT = 4 + 5

RT = 9
