So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:

\frac{370+x}{500+x}=\frac{3}{4}

Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:

4(370+x)=3(500+x) \implies\\ 1480+4x=1500+3x \implies \\ x=20

That x value is 20.

Find each measure cause i don't understand?

Answer:

x=6 .  m<PQS=82  m<SQR=61 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

(13x+4) + (10x-1) = 141

combine like terms

23x+3=141

subtract 3 from both sides

23x=138

divide both sides by 23

x=6

substitute x into both original equations

m<PQS=13(6)+4

m<PQS=78+4

m<PQS= 82

m<SQR=10(6)+1

m<SQR=60+1

M<SQR=61
