Answer:

Lenght of RS= 2

Explanation:

We were told that Points R, S, and T are collinear, then RT, RS and ST are on straight line which can be expressed linearly as;

RS + ST= RT.......eqn(1)

We know that

RS = 2x – 4

ST = 3x + 2

RT = 13.

Then just substitute these into eqn(1)

(2x - 4) + (3x + 2)= 13

If you simplify and collect like-terms

bracket we have

2x+3x=13+4

5x =15

x=15/5

x = 3

To find RS, Then substitute the value of x into equation of RS, we have

RS = 2x – 4

RS = 2(3) - 4

= 6 - 4

= 2

Therefore, the length of RS =2

Like its neighbor to the south this continent has followers of Christianity Judaism and other
OleMash [197]

The correct answer is - North America.

Like its southern neighbor, South America, the North American continent has followers of the Christianity and Judaism. Both continents are pretty similar in the religious construction of their societies, with the Christianity being the most dominant one by far, and the Judaism being practiced by the small and concentrated Jewish communities.

Both of these religions arrived in North and South America when the European settlers started to come into the newly discovered continents, and over time, they managed to replace the native religions.
