Question

Point S is on line segment \overline{RT}

RT
. Given RT=2x,RT=2x, RS=3x-8,RS=3x−8, and ST=x,ST=x, determine the numerical length of \overline{ST}.
ST
.

Answer 1

Answer: The Answer is 4, just had this question

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the length of RS and ST is the length of RT, i.e.

`\overline{RS}+\overline{ST}=\overline{RT}`

`(3x-8)+x=2x`

`4x-8=2x`

`4x-2x=8`

`2x=8`

`x=4`

`\therefore \overline{ST}=4`
