To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation. Let the number that we are trying to find be represented by the variable x. If we plug in the numbers that we know, we get the following equation:
3x/4 = 24
To simplify this equation, we need to multiply both sides by 4, to begin getting the x alone on the left side of the equation.
3x = 96
Finally, we need to divide both sides by 3, to get rid of the coefficient that is being multiplied to x.
x = 32
Therefore, the number that you are trying to find is 32.
Given:
PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT are straight lines.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
Since PQRS is a circle, PQT and SRT are straight lines, therefore, PQRS isa cyclic quadrilateral.
We know that, sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degrees.
Now, SRT is a straight line.

According to the Exterior angle theorem, in a triangle the measure of an exterior angle is equal the sum of the opposite interior angles.
Using exterior angle theorem in triangle QRT, we get
Therefore, the value of x is 103 degrees.
The answer is 12.50 and equation is y=5.25p -3.25
