Step 1: Let's recall that the midpoint of a line segment is the middle point and it is equidistant from both endpoints.

Step 2: Upon saying that, we have that:

ST = TU

Replacing with the values given in the exercise:

4x = 3x + 16

4x - 3x = 16

x = 16

Step 3: Now you can find the value of ST and TU easily:

ST = 4x

TU = 3x + 16
