Point S is on line segment \overline{RT} RT . Given RT=x+5,RT=x+5, ST=4x-9,ST=4x−9, and RS=x-2,RS=x−2, determine the numerical length of \overline{RT}. RT .

9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If point S is on the line RT, then RS + ST = RT

Given

RT=x+5

ST=4x−9

RS=x-2

Substitute into the formula

x-2+4x-9 = x + 5

Collect like terms

x+4x-2-9 = x+5

5x - 11 = x + 5

5x - x = 5+11

4x = 16

x = 4

Get RT

RT = x+5

RT = 4 + 5

RT = 9 units

Hence the length of RT is 9 units

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

what grade level is this? need to know so i can look in my old textbooks!
