Question

Find RS. A. 5 B. 10 C. 9 D. 12

Answer 1

RS=5

Explanation:

solve for x:

2x-6+1+x-4 = 18

combine like terms

3x-9=18

subtract both sides to make x isolated

3x=27

divide by 3 to get x

x=9

RS=x-4

RS=9-4

RS=5

Answer 2

x=9

Explanation:

PQ + QR + RS = PS

2x-6 + 1 + x-4 = 18

Combine like terms

3x -9 = 18

Add 9 to each side

3x-9+9= 18-9

3x = 27

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9
