Question

I need help this makes no sense

Answer 1

∠ SQT = 63°

Explanation:

since QS bisects ∠ RQT , then

∠ RQS = ∠ SQT = 7x + 7

then

∠ RQS + ∠ SQT = ∠ RQT , that is

7x + 7 + 7x + 7 = 9x + 54

14x + 14 = 9x + 54 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

5x + 14 = 54 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

5x = 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 8

Then

∠ SQT = 7x + 7 = 7(8) + 7 = 56 + 7 = 63°
