Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

3x+9=10+x
minus x both sides
3x-x+9=10+x-x
2x+9=10+0
2x+9=10
minus 9 both sides
2x+9-9=10-9
2x+0=1
2x=1
divide both sides by 2
x=1/2

3x + 9 = 10 + x
2x +9 = 10
2x = 1
x = 1/2

$\widehat{RQS}+\widehat{TQS}=\widehat{RQT}\\\Leftrightarrow 9x + 1 + 7x + 3 = 180 \\ \widehat{RQS}+\widehat{TQS}=\widehat{RQT}\\\Leftrightarrow 16x = 176\Leftrightarrow x = 11 \\ \Rightarrow \widehat{RQS} = 9 \times 11 + 1 = 100° \: \wedge \: \widehat{TQS} = 7 \times 11 + 3 = 80°$
