Q. Question #11 *\newlineIf \newlineRS=59RS=59 and \newlineST=10x31ST=10x-31, find \newlinexx\newlineYour answer
  1. Understand Relationship: Understand the relationship between RSRS and STST. Since RSRS and STST are segments of a line or parts of a geometric figure, and they are given in terms of xx, we can assume that RS+STRS + ST represents the total length of a line or the sum of both segments. We need to set up an equation that relates RSRS and STST.
  2. Set Up Equation: Set up the equation.\newlineWe know that RS=59RS = 59 and ST=10x31ST = 10x - 31. If RSRS and STST are consecutive segments, then their sum should be equal to the total length. Therefore, we can write the equation as:\newlineRS+ST=59+(10x31)RS + ST = 59 + (10x - 31)
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.\newlineNow we simplify the right side of the equation:\newline59+(10x31)=59+10x3159 + (10x - 31) = 59 + 10x - 31\newline59+10x31=10x+2859 + 10x - 31 = 10x + 28
  4. Equating RS and ST: Since RS+STRS + ST represents the total length, and RSRS is given as 5959, we can equate RSRS to the simplified expression of STST.\newline59=10x+2859 = 10x + 28
  5. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlineNow we will isolate xx by subtracting 2828 from both sides of the equation:\newline5928=10x+282859 - 28 = 10x + 28 - 28\newline31=10x31 = 10x
  6. Divide for x Value: Divide both sides by 1010 to find the value of xx.3110=10x10\frac{31}{10} = \frac{10x}{10}3.1=x3.1 = x
