We can write this in math as x+y+z=104, x=y-6, and z=3y

Because we already know what x and z are in terms of y, we can substitute our values for x and z into the first equation. This now looks like (y-6) + y + (3y) = 104. Now we can simplify our equation to find our value for y.

y-6 + y + 3y = 104 simplifies to 5y - 6 = 104, then 5y=110, and finally y=22.

Now that we know our value for y we can find our values for x and z by substituting our value for y into the other two equations.

The second equation x = y-6 can be simplified as x = 22 - 6 and further simplified as x = 16.

The third equation z = 3y can be written as z = 3(22) or z = 66.

Our three numbers are 16, 22, and 66. Hope this helps you!

  • ST = 23
  • RU = 8
  • SV = 5
  • SU = 10

====================================================

Explanation:

Focus on triangles SVT and UVT.

They are congruent triangles due to the fact that SV = VU and VT = VT. From there we can use the LL (leg leg) theorem for right triangles to prove them congruent.

Since the triangles are the same, just mirrored, this means ST = UT = 23.

-----------------------

Following similar reasoning as the previous section, we can prove triangle RVU = triangle RVS.

Therefore, RS = RU = 8

-----------------------

SV = VU = 5 because RT bisects SU.

Bisect means to cut in half. The two smaller pieces are equal.

-----------------------

SU = SV + VU = 5+5 = 10

Refer to the segment addition postulate.
