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.
Givens
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:
Infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
when you solve for V, you notice that the term in "v" goes away, and you end up with a true statement:
2 = 2
This is a true statement no matter what values the variable V has, so it is true for all possible (infinite) values of "v".
To find the rate in miles per hour, divide the miles by the hours.
(1 1/2 miles)/(3/5 hour) =
= 3/2 miles * (5/3 hour)
= 5/2 mph
= 2 1/2 mph
Her walking rate is 2 1/2 mph.
(4 1/2 miles) / ( 2 1/2 mph) =
= 9/2 miles / (5/2 mph)
= 9/2 * 2/5 hours
= 9/5 hours
= 1 4/5 hours
From 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m., she has 2 hours, but she only needs 1 4/5 hours to walk, so she will make it to work on time.
