Question

If ST 13 and RT = 46, find RS. Use the number line below.

R
RS=
(Type an integer or a decimal.)

Answer 1

RS = 33

Explanation:

from the number line

RT = RS + ST ( substitute values )

46 = RS + 13 ( subtract 13 from both sides )

33 = RS

Answer 2

RS = 33

Explanation:

Given that,

→ ST = 13

→ RT = 46

Then the value of RS will be,

→ RS + ST = RT

→ RS + 13 = 46

→ RS = 46 - 13

→ [ RS = 33 ]

Hence, the value is 33.
