Answer:

RS = 20

ST = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

R____S____T

RS + ST = RT

3x - 16 + 4x - 8 = 60

3x + 4x - 16 - 8 = 60

7x - 24 = 60

+24 +24

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

7x = 84

/7 /7

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

x = 12

Let's use what we got for x to find the length of ST and RS

ST = 4x - 8

= 4(12) - 8

= 48 - 8

ST = 40

RS = 3x - 16

= 3(12) - 16

= 36 - 16

RS = 20

so, RS = 20, ST = 40, and RT = 60

Y = x - 1

romanna [79]

Answer: The correct answer is the third option, (-3,-4).

Step-by-step explanation: You plug in 2x + 2 for y, given that y = 2x + 2.

2x+2 = x - 1

x = -3

Now, you plug in -3 for x in an equation.

y = -3 - 1

y = -4.
