Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As RA is parallel to ET, the angle in R is equal to the angle in T, and the angle in A is equal to the angle in E, so the triangle RAS is similar to the triangle SET.

If RT is 21 units, we have that RS + ST = 21 -> RS = 21 - ST

Using a rule of three with the sides of the triangle (as they are proportional), we have:

RS / ST = AR / ET

(21 - ST) / ST = 6 / 8

4 * (21 - ST) = 3*ST

84 - 4*ST = 3*ST

7*ST = 84

ST = 12 units

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 4d/t - S1

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total time = t = 2.75 hours

Initial speed = S1 = 55 mi/h

Final speed = x

distance = d = 60 mi

Formula

speed = distance / time

Average speed = (Initial speed + final speed)/2  or

                          = (S1 + x)/2

Substitution

                             (S1 + x)/2 = 2(d) / t

Solve for x

                             x = (2d/t)2 - S1

Simplification and result

                              x = 4d/t - S1

Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 6 when x = 9.
lesantik [10]
X and y are proportional hence when y is multiplied by a number, x is multiplied by the same number.

18=6*3 hence when y=18,x=9*3=27

x=27
