$\text{Cov}$ is biadditive in the sense that: $$\text{Cov}(U+V,W)=\text{Cov}(U,W)+\text{Cov}(V,W)\tag1$$ and: $\text{Cov}(U,V+W)=\text{Cov}(U,V)+\text{Cov}(U,W)\tag2$
This of course under the condition that the covariances on the RHS exist.
Applying that here we find:$$\text{Cov}(T,R)=\text{Cov}(T,T+X)=\text{Cov}(T,T)+\text{Cov}(T,X)=\text{Var}(T)+0=9$$
The only thing that has to be checked is that $\text{Cov}(X)$ exists, wich is not really difficult.
There is no need for calculation $\mathbb ETR$ (if that's what you mean).
If you insist on doing so then make use of $$\mathbb ETR=\mathbb E(T^2+TX)=\mathbb ET^2+\mathbb ETX=\mathbb ET^2+\mathbb ET\mathbb EX$$
