See solution.

Practice makes perfect

We are given the following diagram.

The Inscribed Angle Theorem gives us some information about m∠ T and m∠ S. m∠ T = 12mURS & (I) m∠ S = 12mTUR & (II) Recall that we are given that m∠ T = 12m∠ S. Let's substitute it into the left-hand side of Equation (I). 1/2m∠ S = 1/2mURS ⇓ m∠ S = mURS Next, we substitute the last equation into Equation (II) and get the desired result.
m∠ S = 1/2mTUR
mURS = 1/2mTUR
Solve for mTUR
2mURS = mTUR
mTUR = 2mURS

Paragraph Proof

Given: & m∠ T = 12m∠ S Prove: & mTUR = 2mURS Proof: By the Inscribed Angle Theorem, m∠ T = 12mURS and m∠ S = 12mTUR. Substituting the given equation in the first one gives m∠ S = mURS. Finally, we substitute this equation into the second one and multiply both sides by 2 to get mTUR = 2mURS.
