can someone please explain!! i need some help out here thank you

Answer 1

Answer: RP=16

Step-by-step explanation:

RP=RQ+QP

RQ=11

QP=x-3

RP=3x-8

Hence,

3x-8=11+(x-3)

3x-8=11+x-3

3x-8=x+8

3x-8+8=x+8+8

3x=x+16

3x-x=x+16-x

2x=16

Divide both parts of the equation by 2:

x=8

Thus,

RP=3*8-8

RP=24-8

RP=16
