Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked angles are vertical angles, so are congruent.
3x -3 = 147 . . . . congruent angles have equal measures
x -1 = 49 . . . . . divide by3
x = 50 . . . . . . add 1

So solve for q
first factor q out of the summation

now, determine what the summation is

its been a while since ive done summations so i dont remember any tricks but that summation is essentially equal to

or factored to be something like this

which i believe there's a formula for
regardless using a calculator, the summation turns out to be 4/3 i think
you should definitely double check this step
so replacing the summation for 4/3, the equation is now
q*(4/3) =8
pretty easy to solve from here
divide 4/3 to both sides to get q
any questions?
