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.

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:180
Step-by-step explanation:
you start by finding the prime factorization of the number
5=1*5
9=3*3
12=2*2*3
the shortest way to find the factors is to find is most of them like example, at max, there are 2 two's, 2 three's and 1 five then you multiply them all together
4*9*5=180 and that's the answer
Answer:
C. x ≥ -4
