Answer 1

Answer:

RS: 26

ST: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

RS + ST = RT

3x - 16 + 4x - 8 = 60

3x + 4x - 16 - 8 = 60

7x - 24 + 24 = 60 + 24

7x = 84

7x / 7 = 84 / 7

x = 12

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

RS

3x - 16

3 (12) - 16

36 - 16

20

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

ST

4x - 8

4 (12) - 8

48 - 8

40

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

RS + ST = RT

20 + 40 = RT

60 = RT
