To find the value of x, we can use the fact that the sum of the measures of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

We know that m<RST = 7x - 54 and m<STU = 8x.

Since RS = ST, this means that m<RST = m<RST.

So we can set up an equation:

7x - 54 = 8x

Subtracting 7x from both sides:

-54 = x

So x = -54.

However, since x cannot have a negative value in this context, we can disregard this solution.

Therefore, there is no valid value of x that satisfies the given conditions.

The answer is: None of the above.
