For this question, we can assume that RS + ST = RT. So now, we just have to plug in the expressions for these lengths, and solve the equation.
(3x+1) + (2x-2) = 64
Because we are only dealing with one operation, the parentheses aren't necessary.
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64
Next, we should combine like terms on the left side of the equation. We know that 3x + 2x = 5x, and that 1 - 2 = -1.
5x - 1 = 64
The goal of an equation is to get the variable alone. To do this, we have to get rid of the -1 on the left side of the equation. So, we are going to add 1 to both sides of the equation, to cancel out the -1 on the left side.
5x = 65
Finally, we are going to divide both sides by 5, as this is the inverse operation of multiplication, which is how the 5 and the x are connected.
x = 13
Therefore, the value of x is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:
14:3 can be written as 14/3...and this does not simplify
Okay, let's see...
The problem is asking for a linear equation most likely in the form of y=mx+b
y is another way to say f(x)
<em>m = slope </em>
<em>b = y intercept </em>
Let's start with the y intercept first.
Y intercept means ' When does the line touch (intercept) the y axis.
In this case, if you look at the graph, the line <em>touches </em>the y axis at -1.
-1 will replaces b
To find the slope we are going to take 2 precise points from the graph.
Lets use <em>(0,-1)</em> and <em>(-6,4) </em>
To find the slope, we're going to use 
4 - (-1) / -6 - 0
Solve, our slope is 5/-6
That is our m
Our final equation is
There is no m in the diagram showed
