Answer:
[tex]x = 24.75[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Find x
To find x, we have:
[tex]\angle PQR + \angle RPQ + \angle QRP = 180[/tex] -- angles in a triangle
Because [tex]\bar {PR}[/tex] is extended to S, then:
[tex]\angle QRS = \angle QRP[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]2x + 6 + x - 7 + 5x -17 = 180[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]2x + x + 5x = 180 + 17 + 7-6[/tex]
[tex]8x = 198[/tex]
Divide by 8
[tex]x = 24.75[/tex]
