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

x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<

Synthetic Division x^3+9x^2-11x-13
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

You can't synthetic divide since there's no dividend. As you can't factor it so I figure you must've forgot to include something or there's no solution.
