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
