Answer:
∠RST = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that:
SQ bisects angle RST.
This means that:
∠QST = ∠QSR
2x = 3x - 10
10 = 3x - 2x
x = 10

Therefore:
∠QST = 2x = 2(10) = 20°
∠QSR = 3x - 10 = 3(10) - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20°
Note that both angles are equal.

Now, we can get ∠RST as follows:
∠RST = ∠QST + ∠QSR
∠RST = 20 + 20 = 40°

Hope this helps :)
