Question

The question is below:​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=19.5^o$

$\angle RQS=43^o$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the addition of these two angles give you and angle of $180^o$, therefore we can write the following equation to represent such addition:

$(2x+4)^o + (6x+20)^o=180^o\\2x+6x+4^o+20^o=180^o\\8\,x+24^o=180^o\\8\,x=180^o-24^o\\8\,x=156^o\\x=156^o/8\\x=19.5^o$

Therefore, the value of the angle RQS is:

$\angle RQS=(2\,x+4)^o=(2\,*\,19.5^o)+4^o=43^o$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 19.5, RQS=43

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that RQS and TQS are supplementary, meaning their angles will add up to 180. Knowing this, we can create and solve the equation to find x..

(2x+4) + (6x+20) = 180

8x + 24 = 180

8x = 156

x = 19.5

Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into the equation for RQS, 2x+4.

2(19.5)+4

39+4

43
