I cannot tell from what you wrote whether the figure is like this:



in which case we would subtract m∠ROS =  7ー5'8" from +m∠ROT = 48ー12'16"

  
 m∠ROT = 48ー12'16"
-m∠ROS =  7ー 5' 8"

 m∠SOT   41ー 7' 8"

or whether it's like this:




in which case we would add them:

 m∠ROT = 48ー12'16"
+m∠ROS =  7ー 5' 8" 
覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧覧
 m∠SOT   56ー17'24"
