Answer:

x=8. Length: 35

Explanation:

So you have two line segments that add up to a total segment. RT is the segment. RA and AT add up to RT. So you would set the two portions equal to the segment as a whole to find your answer. Should look something like this:

11+3x = 43-x.

Now to find your x you want to get your x's to one side

11+4x=43

Get all your real numbers to one side

4x=32

Divide by 4 to get x alone

x=8.

Now plug the variable back in to find the segment length:

43-8

Your answer should be 35
