To find the value of x, we can set up an equation using the given information.
Since RS¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅ST¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, we can conclude that m∠RST = m∠STU.
So, 8x - 60 = 10x.
To solve the equation, we can begin by subtracting 8x from both sides:
-60 = 2x.
Then, we divide both sides by 2:
x = -30.
Since x cannot be negative in this context, we discard that solution.
Therefore, there is no valid value of x that satisfies the given conditions.
