Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

QS = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

PS is all the numbers added together.

PQ + QR + RS = PS

(PLUG IN)

8 + 3x - 1 + 9 = 28 (collect like terms)

3x + 16 = 28 (subtract 16 on both sides)

3x = 12 (divide by 3 on both sides)

x = 4

QR + RS = QS

(PLUG IN)

3(4) - 1 + 9 = QS (distribute)

12 - 1 + 9 = QS (collect like terms)

20 = QS

Hope this helps ya!!
