4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.

Start with

x=7\cdot9+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv63\equiv64-1\equiv-1\equiv3\pmod4

We have 3^2\equiv9\equiv1\pmod4, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv72\equiv2\pmod7

which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv140\equiv5\pmod9

so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with x=401.

By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any x such that

x\equiv401\pmod{4\cdot7\cdot9}\implies x\equiv149\pmod{252}

is a solution to this system, i.e. x=149+252n for any integer n, the smallest and positive of which is 149.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Ratio of OP and RT = \frac{OP}{RT}

                                     = \frac{12}{3.6}

                                     = \frac{10}{3}

b). Since ΔOPQ ~ ΔRTS, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

    \frac{OQ}{RS}=\frac{OP}{RT}

    \frac{OQ}{4.5}=\frac{10}{3}

    OQ = \frac{10\times 4.5}{3}

    OQ = 15 cm

c). m∠P = m∠T = 60°

d). m∠Q = m∠S

    By applying angle sum theorem in ΔRST,

    m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°

    26° + m∠S + 60° = 180°

    m∠S = 180° - 86°

             = 94°

    Therefore, m∠Q = m∠S = 94°
