Answer 1

The question involves calculating two angle measurements using algebraic expressions representing the angles in a geometric shape. The sum of angles is 180°, and by setting up an equation with the given expressions, the solution doesn't match any of the provided answer choices, indicating a possible error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem involves finding the measurements of two angles in a geometric figure using given algebraic expressions for the angles. We have three angles ZSQR, ZPQR, and ZSQP, with ZSQP given as 61°. As these angles form a triangle or are part of a geometric system, we can assume the sum of angles to be 180°. We are given the expressions for m ZSQR (as 2x + 6) and m ZPQR (as 10x - 5). Hence, the equation we'll set up is (2x + 6) + (10x - 5) + 61 = 180.

Solving for x gives us:

1. Add the x terms and constant terms: 12x + 62 = 180.
2. Subtract 62 from both sides: 12x = 118.
3. Divide by 12 to isolate x: x = 9.833.

With x known, we find the measures:

• m ZSQR = 2(9.833) + 6 = 25.666
• m ZPQR = 10(9.833) - 5 = 93.33

However, these don't match the options provided, suggesting a discrepancy or typo in the question or provided options.
