Point S is on line segment RT. Given RT = 2x, RS = 3x - 8, and ST = x,

determine the numerical length of ST.

1 answer

Given that RS = 3x - 8, ST = x, and RT = 2x, we can determine the length of ST.

RT = RS + ST
2x = (3x - 8) + x
2x = 4x - 8
8 = 2x
4 = x

Therefore, the numerical length of ST is 4.
