Answer:

H.28

Step-by-step explanation:

x : y = 3 : 4

=> 4x=3y   => x=3y/4 -----(1)

(x+y)-9=40

=>x+y=49

using (1)

3y/4 +y= 49

y=28

substituting y in (1)

x=21

hence 28 is greater.

<RQT is a straight angle. What are m<RQS and m<TQS​
never [62]

Answers:

  • x = 11
  • angle RQS = 106 degrees
  • angle SQT = 74 degrees

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

Explanation:

Straight angles are always 180 degrees in measure.

The two smaller angles shown add up to 180

(angle RQS) + (angle SQT) = angle RQT

(9x+7) + (6x+8) = 180

(9x+6x) + (7+8) = 180

15x+15 = 180

15x = 180-15

15x = 165

x = 165/15

x = 11

From here, we then know that,

  • angle RQS = 9x+7 = 9*11+7 = 99+7 = 106 degrees
  • angle SQT = 6x+8 = 6*11+8 = 66+8 = 74 degrees

Note how the two results add to 106+74 = 180 to help confirm the answers.
