When something is bisected, it is cut in half. <RTS is cut into two equal halves, <VTS and <RTV.

<VTs = <RTV

Let's plug the numbers from our problem into the equation above.

16x - 6 = 13x + 9

Add 6 to both sides and subtract 13x from both sides.

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3

x = 5

Let's plug 5 into x for <RTV

m<RTV = 16(5) - 6 = 80 - 6 = 74 degrees

In conclusion,

x = 5, m<RTV = 74 degrees
