Answer:
Explanation:
Given
RS=9y+2, ST=2y+6, and RT= 52
The addition postulate is true for the number line.
RS+ST = RT
Substitute
9y+2+(2y+6) = 52
9y+2y+8 = 52
11y = 52-8
11y = 44
y = 44/11
y = 4
Find RS
RS = 9y+2
RS = 9(4)+2
RS = 36+2
RS = 38
Find ST:
ST = 2y+6
ST = 2(4)+6
ST = 8+6
ST = 14
Hence y = 4, RS = 38 and ST = 14
