Explanation:

Given that,

∠PSQ = 13x+7

∠QSR = 42x+8

We need to find the measure of angles.

We can use the property of linear pair. ATQ,

13x+7 + 42x+8 = 180 (Linear pair)

Taking like terms,

13x+42x = 180 - 7-8

55x = 165

x = 3

So,

∠PSQ = 13x+7 = 13(3) + 7 = 46°

∠QSR = 42x+8 = 42(3) + 8 = 134°

Hence, this is the required solution.
