b. Find RS and ST.
R
a. What is the value of y?
y=(Type an integer or a decimal.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a). The value of y is 6.

(b). The value of RS and ST are 33 and 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

RS = 5y+3

ST=4y+7

RT=64

(a). We need to calculate the value of y

Using given data

[tex]RS+ST=RT[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]5y+3+4y+7=64[/tex]

[tex]9y=64-10[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{54}{9}[/tex]

[tex]y=6[/tex]

(b). We need to calculate the value of RS

Using equation of RS

[tex]RS=5y+3[/tex]

Put the value of y

[tex]RS=5\times6+3[/tex]

[tex]RS=33[/tex]

We need to calculate the value of ST

Using equation of ST

[tex]ST=4y+7[/tex]

Put the value of y

[tex]ST=4\times6+7[/tex]

[tex]RS=31[/tex]

Hence, (a). The value of y is 6.

(b). The value of RS and ST are 33 and 31.
