notice that, if Q is the midpoint of PR, that simply means that PQ = QR = 43.

$\bf \boxed{P}\underset{\leftarrow 9x-31 \to }{\stackrel{\stackrel{\downarrow }{43}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}Q\stackrel{43}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}}\boxed{R}
\\\\\\
9x-31=43+43\implies 9x-31=86\implies 9x=117
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{117}{9}\implies x=13$

Answer:

(x + 6, y + 0), 180° rotation, reflection over the x‐axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer can be found out simply , a trapezoid has its horizontal sides usually parallel meanwhile the vertical sides are not parallel.

The horizontal parallel sides are on the x-axis.

Reflection over y- axis would leave the trapezoid in a vertical position such that the trapezoid ABCD won't be carried on the transformed trapezoid as shown in figure.

So option 1 and 2 are removed.

Now, a 90 degree rotation would leave the trapezoid in a vertical position again so its not suitable again.

In,The final option (x + 6, y + 0), 180° rotation, reflection over the x‐axis, x+6 would allow the parallel sides to increase in value hence the trapezoid would increase in size,

180 degree rotation would leave the trapezoid in an opposite position and reflection over x-axis would bring it below the Original trapezoid. Hence, transformed trapezoid A`B`C`D` would carry original trapezoid ABCD onto itself
