Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete but a possibility is that the given parameters are points on a straight line.
I'll answer base on that assumption.
[tex]RS = 6y + 2[/tex]
[tex]ST =2y + 7[/tex]
[tex]RT =13y -21[/tex]
To solve for y, we have that:
[tex]RT = RS + ST[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]13y - 21 = 6y + 2 + 2y + 7[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]13y - 6y - 2y = 21 +2+7[/tex]
[tex]5y = 30[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5
[tex]y = 6[/tex]
To get the measure of each line. Substitute 6 for y in
[tex]RS = 6y + 2[/tex]
[tex]ST =2y + 7[/tex]
[tex]RT =13y -21[/tex]
[tex]RS = 6 * 6 + 2 = 36 + 2 = 38[/tex]
[tex]ST = 2*6 + 7 = 12 +7 = 19[/tex]
[tex]RT = 13*6 - 21 = 78 - 21 = 57[/tex]
