Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠RQS = x - 60°

∠RQS = 180° - x

x - 60° = 180° - x

2x - 60° = 180°

Answer: Choice B) 2x-60 = 180

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

A bit of the question got cut off. I'm assuming the full question reads "In this diagram, the measure of angle RQS is 60 degrees less than the measure of angle PQS"

The portion underlined is the part cut off where I'm making the assumption. If that assumption is correct, then we have

  • angle PQS = x
  • angle RQS = x-60

Those two adjacent angles form a straight line of 180 degrees

(anglePQS) + (angleRQS) = 180

(x) + (x-60) = 180

2x-60 = 180

which points to choice B as the answer.
