Answer:

94

Step-by-step explanation: PQS = (7x - 6)°

SQR = (4x + 15)° since QS bisect PQR these two expressions must be equal

so

7x - 6 = 4x + 15 transfer like terms to the same side of the equation

7x - 4x = 15 + 6

3x = 21 divide both sides by 3

x = 7

also the sum of these two would give us the measure of PQR

7x + 4x + 15 - 6 = PQR

11x + 9 = PQR replace x with 7

11*7 + 9 = 86 this is the measure of angle PQR and also supplementary to PQT so the measure of PQT = 180 - 86
