Answer:

D. 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid-segment Theorem of a triangle states that the Mid-segment in a triangle is half of the third side of the triangle.

Based on this theorem, we have: TV = ½(RS)

TV = 3n - 2

RS = n + 12

Substitute

3n - 2 = ½(n + 12)

Multiply both sides by 2

2(3n - 2) = (n + 12)

6n - 4 = n + 12

Collect like terms

6n - n = 4 + 12

5n = 16

Divide both sides by 5

5n/5 = 16/5

n = 3.2
