Question not well presented
Point S is on line segment RT . Given RS = 4x − 10, ST=2x−10, and RT=4x−4, determine the numerical length of RS
Answer:
The numerical length of RS is 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
RS = 4x − 10
ST=2x−10
RT=4x−4
From the question above:
Point S lies on |RT|
So, RT = RS + ST
Substitute values for each in the above equation to solve for x
4x - 4 = 4x - 10 + 2x - 10 --- collect like terms
4x - 4 = 4x + 2x - 10 - 10
4x - 4 = 6x - 20--- collect like terms
6x - 4x = 20 - 4
2x = 16 --- divide through by 2
2x/2 = 16/2
x = 8
Since, RS = 4x − 10
RS = 4*8 - 10
RS = 32 - 10
RS = 22
Hence, the numerical length of RS is calculated as 22
Solving for y right?
2y = 3x + 4 - x
2y = 2x + 4
y = 2x + 4 over 2
y = 2 (x + 2) over 2
y = x + 2
y - 3 = 2x - 6 over 2
y - 3 = 2(x - 3) over 2
y - 3 = x - 3
y = x
x - y - 2 = 2(2x + 1)
-y - 2 = 2(2x + 1) - x
-y = 2(2x + 1) - x + 2
y = -2(2x + 1) + x - 2
I think what you mean is:
Then using our rules of exponents, this is the same as
