To find the measure of angle OPQ, we have two equations...
y+5x-17=180 because angles OPN and OPQ are supplementary...
AND
x+17+2x-4+y=180 because the total degrees of a triangle must add up to 180.
The equations...
5x+y=197
3x+y=167
solce the system of equations...
x=15
y=122
Since we wanted to solve for y, 122 is the answer.
The measure of angle OPQ is 122.
Sorry this took forever. The website is hard to use because I'm used to using the app:)

Note that c is the hypotenuse of the blue triangle, and that the Pyth. Thm. states that (length of one leg)^2 + (length of the other leg)^2 = (hyp)^2.
Therefore, (hyp)^2 = c^2 = [2sqrt(x^2+3x)]^2 + 3^2, or
= 4(x^2+3x) + 9, or
= 4x^2 + 12x + 9 = (2x+3)^2
Taking the sqrt of both sides, c = plus or minus (2x+3). Eliminate -(2x+3) because the middle term of the square of this would be negative, in conflict with the given +12x.
c=2x+3 is the correct answer.
Y=9.25 (short answer but hope this helped u)
The answer is 14 because a negative number multiplied by another negative number is positive. So (-7)*(-2) is 14.
