Answer:

P = 5x + 33 = 58

Q = R = 3x+46 = 61

Explanation:

angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees

the angles in an isosceles triangle that correspond to the two congruent sides (are opposite the sides) are also congruent

that means that angle R = angle Q because QP and RP are congruent

angles = 5x+33, 3x+46, 3x+46

5x+33 + 3x+ 46 + 3x+46 = 180

11x + 125 = 180

subtract 125 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient

11x = 55

divide both sides by 11 to find x

x = 5

P = 5x + 33 = 58

Q = R = 3x+46 = 61
