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

Explanation:

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

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

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

$4x-8=2x$

$4x-2x=8$

$2x=8$

$x=4$

$\therefore \overline{ST}=4$
