Question

Using the following image, solve for SR. Look at the image closely.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume

SR = 2x + 23

RQ = x + 21

if that is true, then the situation is completely simple :

14 = (2x + 23) + (x + 21) = 3x + 44

3x = -30

x = -10

SR = 2×-10 + 23 = -20 + 23 = 3

RQ = -10 + 21 = 11

Answer 2

$\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:x = -10$

____________________________________

$\large \tt Solution \: :$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: SR + RQ = SQ$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 2x + 23 + x + 21 = 14$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 3x + 44 = 14$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 3x = 14 - 44$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 3x = - 30$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = - 10$

Now,

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: SR = 2x + 23$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: SR = 2(-10) + 23$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: SR =-20+ 23$

$\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: SR = 3 \:\: units$
