Question

Q is equidistant from the sides of TSR. Find the value of x. The diagram is not to scale.

A. 3
B. 23
C. 20
D. 11

Answer 1

`2x + 17 = 23`

`2x = 6`

`x = 3`

The answer is A! Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

ANSWER


`x = 3`

Step-by-step explanation

Since the ray through Q is equidistant from, TSR, it bisects angle TSR.

This implies that, the
`23\degree` angle is equal to the
`(2x + 17) \degree` angle. We therefore write the following equation that can help us find the value of x.


`(2x + 17) \degree=23 \degree`

We group like terms to get,


`2x=23\degree- 17\degree`

This gives us,


`2x=6`

We divide both sides by 3 to get,


`x=(6)/(2)`


`\therefore\:x=3`

The correct answer is A.
