The given Equations are RS= 2x+10 (1)
ST= x-4 (2)
RT= 21 (3)
Multiply (1) and (2) to get RTS2= (2x+10)(x-4). Since RT =21
S2= (2x+10)(x-4)/21
Or, S =
Using this value of S in (2) T=
Using the value of T in (3) R=
These are the required solutions for R, S and T in terms of x.
Using these solutions RS= 2x+10 and ST= x-4
