Answer:

130°

Explanation:

Since QS bisects ∠PQR, the measures of angles PQS and SQR must be the same

m ∠PQS = 3x + 5

m ∠SQR= 2x + 25

Setting these expressions equal to each other:
3x + 5 = 2x + 25

Subtract 2x from both sides

3x - 2x + 5 = 25

x + 5 = 25

Subtract 5 from both sides

x = 20

Therefore m ∠PQS which is 3x + 5:

m ∠PQS = 3(20) + 5 = 65°

m ∠SQR = ∠PQS =65° also

Adding the two together we get

m ∠PQR = 65 + 65 = 130°
