Answer: the answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
74º
Step-by-step explanation:
- Ray TV bisects ∠RTS, so ∠RTV=∠STV=(16x-6)º
- We also know that ∠RTS=(26x+18)º
- So, (16x-6)º+(16x-6)º=(26x+18)º
- We don't need parenthesis, 16x-6+16x-6=26x+18
- Combine like terms, 32x-12=26x+18
- Add, 32x=26x+30
- Subtract, 6x=30
- Divide, x=5
- ∠RTV now is [16(5)-6]º=(80-6)º=74º
