The value of y is 5
<h3>How to determine the value </h3>
From the given line, it can be concluded that:
The segment RT is divided into RS and ST
But we have the following parameters
The length of the sides are:
Since RT is RS added to ST:
We have;
RT = RS + ST
substitute the values
43 = 4y + 4 + 3y + 4
collect like terms
43 = 4y + 3y + 4 + 4
Add like terms
43 = 7y + 8
43 = 7y + 8
Make '7y' subject of formula
7y = 43 - 8
7y = 35
Make 'y' the subject of formula
y = 35/ 7
y = 5
Thus, the value of y is 5
