Answer:
RT = 6x + 19 , x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Point S is between R and T on RT and RS = 2x + 8 ST = 4x + 11 then
RT = RS + ST
= 2x + 8 + 4x + 11
rearrange
= 2x + 4x + 8 + 11
= 6x + 19
Given that RT = 73
Substitute into the equation
6x + 19 = 73
collect like terms
6x = 73 - 19
= 54
Divide both sides by 6
x = 54/6
= 9
