Remark
If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP
From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.

PQ = 8
QR = 5
RS = 15
ST = x + 3
Ratio
QR/RP = RS/RT
Sub and solve
RP = 5 + 8
RP = 13
RT = 15 + x + 3
RT = 18 + x
5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply
5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.
90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 105 Divide by 5
x = 105/5

Answer:
3, 4
Step-by-step explanation:
6 < 3n < 15
Divide the three "sides" by 3.
2 < n < 5
n must be between 2 and 5,a nd it must be a whole number.
n can be 3 or 4
Answer:
Both add up to 180 degrees

Answer:
6y + 4x = 18 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+5y=19
y= -5/6x - 1/6
Combine the xs
Combine the ys
Combine the whole numbers
6y + 4x = 18 5/6
