Answer:

4

Explanation:

So when an angle is bisected, it splits it perfectly in half. The entire angle (PQR) is equal to 82 degrees, therefore PQS must be equal to half of 82, or 41.

So set up your equation: 10x+1=41. Just use basic algebra from here. Subtract 1 from both sides, then divide by 10. x=4. Hope this helps!
