<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>

=========================================

Explanation:

PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*(2x-4)

336 = 42x-84

336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides

420 = 42x

42x = 420

42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42

x = 10

We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS

NS = 2x-4

NS = 2*10-4

NS = 20-4

NS = 16

Therefore,

QS = QN + NS

QS = 21 + 16

QS = 37

--------

note: as a check,

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*16

336 = 336

we get a true equation, so we have the proper values

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +  \frac{2}{4} x + 1 = 5x +  \frac{1}{3} x + 2 \\ 1.833 x+  1 = 0 \\ 1.833x =  - 1 \\ x = 0.545
