Question

I have no idea what I am doing

Answer 1

Answer:

QPR = 30 degrees

Answer 2

You have to find the measure of angle QPR.

Solve:

$40 = 8x + 7 + 9x + 16$

Add like terms

$40 = 17x + 23$

Solve

$40 - 23 = 17x + 23 - 23$

$17 = 17x\\\frac{17}{17} = \frac{17}{17}x\\1 = x$

Plug in x to solve for the angle measure of QPR

$9(1) + 16 =\\9 + 16 =\\25$

The angle measure of QPR is 25°
