》 find SQ

Answer 1

SQ = 17.5

Explanation:

note that

SK = 7 + 2 = 9

SJ = SQ + 5

Given

`(SP)/(SK)` =
`(SQ)/(SJ)` ( substitute values )

`(7)/(9)` =
`(SQ)/(SQ+5)` ( cross- multiply )

9 SQ = 7(SQ + 5) ← distribute parenthesis by 7

9 SQ = 7 SQ + 35 ( subtract 7 SQ from both sides )

2 SQ = 35 ( divide both sides by 2 )

SQ = 17.5
