4 + 4 + 4 - 1 = 11? Was it supposed to be an equation? I am confused.
The value of y is 5
<h3>How to determine the value </h3>
From the given line, it can be concluded that:
The segment RT is divided into RS and ST
But we have the following parameters
The length of the sides are:
Since RT is RS added to ST:
We have;
RT = RS + ST
substitute the values
43 = 4y + 4 + 3y + 4
collect like terms
43 = 4y + 3y + 4 + 4
Add like terms
43 = 7y + 8
43 = 7y + 8
Make '7y' subject of formula
7y = 43 - 8
7y = 35
Make 'y' the subject of formula
y = 35/ 7
y = 5
Thus, the value of y is 5

Answer:
z = 17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
segment RX is an angle bisector and divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
6z = 105 ( divide both sides by 6 )
z = 17.5
Let y = the length of the 3rd side
x+3 + 2x+4 + y = 6x
x + 2x + 3 + 4 + y = 6x
3x + 7 +y = 6x
7 + y = 3x
y = 3x - 7
The length of the third side in terms of x is 3x-7
