Answer:

rs = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to preface this by saying that I am assuming that there is a typo in question and sn = 8x=31

Since s is the midpoint of rn, rs must be equal to sn

rs = sn

rs = 5x +17

sn = 8x - 31

5x + 17 = 8x - 31

48 = 3x

16 = x

rs = 5x + 17

rs = 5(16) + 17

rs = 80 + 17

rs = 97

Hope this helps!
