Answer:

  • y = 8
  • RS = 51
  • ST = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) You use the fact that the lengths RS and ST total the length RT.

  RS +ST = RT

  (6y+3) +(3y+5) = 80 . . . . . substitute the given values

  9y +8 = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . .simplify

  9y = 72 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 8

  72/9 = y = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of y

___

(b) Now, the value of y can be substituted into the expressions for RS and ST to find their lengths.

  RS = 6y +3 = 6·8 +3

  RS = 51

  ST = 3y +5 = 3·8 +5

  ST = 29

___

<em>Check</em>

  RS +ST = 51 +29 = 80 = RT . . . . the numbers check OK
