Step-by-step explanation:
The expressions are not properly written
Given
RS = 4x – 9
ST = 19
RT = 8x – 14
Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true
RS+ST = RT
Substitute
4x-9+19 = 8x-14
collect like terms
4x-8x = -14-19+9
-4x = -33+9
-4x = -24
x = -24/-4
x = 6
Get RS:
RS = 4x-9
RS = 4(6)- 9
RS = 24-9
RS = 15
Get RT:
RT = 8x - 14
RT = 8(6)-14
RT = 48-14
RT = 34

Answer:
-21/22
Step-by-step explanation:
1.Apply fraction cross multiply
2. Simplify
3.Expand
4.Subtract 24 from both sides
5.simplify
6. Subtract 18x form both sides
7.Simpiify, then divide both sides by -22to get answer.
