If QR=13 , RS =x + 8 , and QS=6x + 16, what is RS

Answer 1

Hi Sapphire Z.

Given

QR = 13, RS = x + 8 and QS = 6x + 16

Q--------------------------R------------------------------S

Since R is shared below

QR + RS = QS

13 + x + 8 = 6x + 16

Can you solve for x?

Once you find x you can plug that in and solve to find RS

RS = 9
