<h2>
Answer:</h2>
The answer is 16.
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
Since the 8x is positive, the equation must have y as a positive number.
Let's see this!
An easy way to complete the square if you have the constants for x2 and
But not the non-variable number is to divide the x constant, and then square it.
Example:

The last number must be 16. Let's check it.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
1. PQ║TS, PQ ≅ TS, PT and QS are transversals to the parallel lines . . . given
2. ∠P ≅ ∠T . . . alternate interior angles at PT
3. ∠Q ≅ ∠S . . . alternate interior angles at QS
4. ΔPQR ≅ ΔTSR . . . ASA postulate
_____
You can use any pair of angles together with the sides PQ and TS. If you use the vertical angles and one of ∠T or ∠S, then you must invoke the AAS postulate for congruence, as the side is not between the two angles.
2(x + 9)
2*x + 2*9
2x + 18 ← answer
(10² ÷ 5) × (3 + 7) = 200
