Ok Q is between P and S, R is between Q and S. S is between Q and T. PT= 30, QS=16, and PQ= QR= RS. Find PQ, ST, and RP
Please help I would really apreciate it.

Just make a diagram, and then label the distances between each point.
If QS is a fixed distance, and QR and RS are equal, then you can divide by two to get those distances. And just like that, you have PQ.
After that, substract PQ, QR, and RS from PT to solve for ST

Since PQ=QR=RS, if QS=16 then QR and QS is half QS (or 8). That means that PQ is also 8. RP=PQ+QR, or 8+8, or 16. Since we know that PT=30, subtract PQ(8), QR(8), and RS(8) to find the value of ST... or 30-24, which equals 6.
Draw a line with points P,Q,R,S, and T and fill in in the values.
Let me know if I'm right...
