Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Convert words into an expression</u>

20 subtracted from the product of 2 and a number is 14.

(2 * x) - 20 = 14

c

<u>Step 2:  Add 20 to both sides</u>

2x - 20 + 20 = 14 + 20

2x = 34

<u><em>Step 3:  Divide both sides by 2</em></u>

2x / 2 = 34 / 2

<em>x = 17</em>

<em />

Answer: x = 17

Anyone know this Geometry problem?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

ST = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

RT is the sum of RS and ST

Replacing with length you get:

17 + x + 6 = 3x - 56

17 + 6 + 5 = 3x - x

28 = 2x

14 = x

ST = x + 6 = 14 + 6 = 20
