Line l is a perpendicular bisector of line segment R Q. It intersects line segment R Q at point T. Line l contains point S. The length of segment R S is 2 x + 8. The length of segment S Q is 8 x minus 4. What is the length of segment SR?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since RS = QS, we know 2x + 8 = 8x - 4

Subtract 2x from each side

8 = 6x - 4

Add 4 to each side

12 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

2 = x

SR is 2x + 8, so it is 2(2) + 8, so RS = 12

answer: 48
