Answer 1

Answer:

∠TRS = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠UTS is an exterior angle of the triangle

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, that is

∠UTS = ∠TRS + ∠RST

9x - 15 = 3x + 16 + x + 9

9x - 15 = 4x + 25 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 8

∠TRS = 3x + 16 = (3 × 8) + 16 = 24 + 16 = 40°
