Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since ∠P ≅ ∠P and ∠PST≅ ∠PRQ (corresponding angles are congruent when the lines are parallel), ΔPST is similar to ΔPRQ by the AA postulate
Therefore, corresponding sides are in proportion.
PS ↔ PR and ST ↔ RQ
Note: PR = PS + SR = x + 7 + x - 1 = 2x + 6
8(x + 7) = 6(2x + 6)
8x+56 = 12x + 36
4x = 20
x = 5
You can add like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables and the same exponent.
11x + 5 + -11x + 29 =
= 11x + -11x + 5 + 29
= 34
Answer: 34
Answer:x=24
Step-by-step explanation:x/2-8=4
Add 8 to both sides
x/2=12
Multiply each side by 2
x=24
I would say B but I'm not sure
