Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

As this shape is a quadrilateral, the opposite sides are equal and parallel.

as QR and ST are parallel, and their values are given, we can write the equation:

QR = ST

2x + 32 = 3x + 27

to get the x values on both sides, subtract 32 and 3x from both sides.

2x + 32 - 32 - 3x = 3x - 3x + 27 - 32

2x - 3x = 27 - 32

simplify these expressions

- x = -5

and multiply by -1 to make both values positive

x = 5
