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
For example:
(4/9) x=8
Now can solve this equation multiplying each side by 9/4.
(9/4)(4/9)x=(9/4)8
x=18
To check:
(4/9)(18)=(4*18)/9=72/9=8
