In the diagram below of RST. L is a point on RS, and M is a point on RT, such that LM parallel to ST If RL = 3 LS= 12 LM=7. and ST=x+ 2, what is the length of ST?

ST is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the similarity formla

RL/LS  = LM/ST

3/12 = 7/x+2

3(x+2)=84

x +2= 84/3

x+2 =  28

x= 28-2

x = 26

ST = x+2

ST = 26+2

ST = 28

Hence the length of ST is 28

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
