I assume that you meant RS and ST are segments of RT. If that is true then:
RS+ST=RT, using the values for these given...
8y+4+4y+8=36 combine like terms on left side
12y+12=36 subtract 12 from both sides
12y=24 divide both sides by 12
y=2
If you sketch the path of the boat, you will form a right triangle towards the port. The distance from the port to the present position is the hypotenuse since it is opposite from the right angle formed by the 12 miles north and 5 miles east movement. Since it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the hypotenuse.
Solution:
h² = o² + a²
h² = 12² + 5²
h² = 144 + 25
h² = 169
√h² = √169
h= 13
The present distance of the boat from the port is 13 miles.
The mistake is n third line - adding 3w
96 + 2w =2(80 - 3w)
96 + 2w = 160 - 6w
+ 6w + 6w
96 + 8w = 160
- 96 -96
8w = 64
w = 8 weeks answer
