SV splits RST into 2 equal sections.

so RST = 2 * RSV

8x - 14 = 2(3x + 5)
8x - 14 = 6x + 10
8x - 6x = 10 + 14
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12 <===

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Line SV is an angle bisector of angle RST

<RSV = <VST

Both angles are equal

m<RSV = (3x+5)

<RSV = <VST, so m<VST = (3x+5), m<RST= 8x-14

m<RST= m<RSV +m<VST

[tex]8x-14= 3x+5+3x+5[/tex]

Combine like terms and solve for x

[tex]8x-14= 6x+10[/tex]

Subtract 6x from both sides

[tex]2x-14=10[/tex]

Add 14 on both sides

[tex]2x=24[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

x=12
