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
Well, to add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the smallest common denominator would be 12. So you must multiply each fraction so that both denominators are 12.
3/4*3/3=9/12
1/3*4/4=4/12
Add those two fractions together, reduce if possible, and you have your answer!
9/12+4/12=13/12
You can't reduce, so 13/12 is your answer.
Hope it helps!
