RT = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given S is between R and T , then

RS + ST = RT , substitute values

2x + 4 + 3x - 7 = 22 , that is

5x - 3 = 22 ( add 3 to both sides )

5x = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

Thus

ST = 3x - 7 = 3(5) - 7 = 15 - 7 = 8

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
