Question

S is the midpoint of Segment RT. If RS is 12x-5 and ST is 8x+1. What is RT?

Answer 1

Hi

So for this question, it is given that RS is 12x-5 and ST is 8x+1

As S is the midpoint of RT, RS+ST will give you RT

So, algebraically,

(12x-5)+(8x+1)=RT

20x-4=RT

The answer is that RT equals 20x-4.
