x= 12

PQS= 71º

PQT= 142º

TQR= 41º

First, you need to find x. To do that, you need to form an equation that would look like this:

(PQT)/2=SQT --> (9x+34)/2 = 8x-25

First, simplify the left side.

(9x+34)/2 = 8x-25

4.5+17 = 8x-25

Next, subtract 4.5x from both sides.

4.5x+17 -4.5x =8x-25 -4.5x

17=3.5x+25

Now, add 25 from both sides.

17 +25 =3.5x+25 +25

42=3.5x

Finally, divide both sides by 3.5.

42/3.5 = 3.5x/3.5

12=x

Now that we now x, we can plug x in to get all the measurements.

PQT=

9(12)+34

108+34

142º

PQS=

142/2

71º

TQR=

112-71

41º

Hope this helps!

If you need a larger explanation or if you what like me to help with another question, just let me know :)
