QR = 12 + x - 2

Now find x, using

QO •OR = NO• OP

then

12 • (x-2) = 3• (3x -1 )

Solve parenthesis using a(b+c ) = ab + ac

12x - 24 = 9x - 3

12x - 9x = 24 - 3

So then

x = (24-3)/(12-9)

. = 21/3

. = 7

Then now use x, to find QR

QR = 12 + x - 2

. = 12 + 7 - 2

. = 17

Then ANSWER IS

OPTION A) 17
