Answer :
Answer:
[tex]x = 5[/tex]
[tex]RTV = 74[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]RTV=16x - 6[/tex]
[tex]VTS=13x+9[/tex]
Required
Determine the values of x and RTV
Since, TV is a bisector, then
[tex]RTS = RTV + VTS[/tex] --- (1)
and
[tex]RTV = VTS[/tex] -- (2)
Substitute values of RTV and VTS in (2)
[tex]16x - 6 = 13x + 9[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]16x - 13x = 9 + 6[/tex]
[tex]3x = 15[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = 5[/tex]
Substitute 5 for x in [tex]RTV=16x - 6[/tex]
[tex]RTV = 16 * 5 - 6[/tex]
[tex]RTV = 80 - 6[/tex]
[tex]RTV = 74[/tex]
