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
