Answer:

y = 6, RS = 35 and ST = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

RS = 5y+5

ST = 2y+5

RT = 52

If we consider a number line,

RT = RS + ST

52 = 5y+5 + 2y+5

52 = 7y + 10

7y = 52-10

7y = 42

y = 6

RS = 5y+5

= 5(6)+5

= 35

ST = 2y+5

= 2(6) +5

= 17

Hence, this is the required solution.
