Question

Using the following image, solve for RQ.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is RQ = 3

Explanation:

Data

SR = x + 7

RQ = x + 4

SQ = 9

Process

1.- Write an equation that helps to solve this problem

SQ = SR + RQ

- Substitution

9 = (x + 7) + (x + 4)

- Solve for x

9 = x + 7 + x + 4

9 = 2x + 11

9 - 11 = 2x

-2 = 2x

x = 2/-2

x = -1

2.- Find the length of RQ

RQ = x + 4

= -1 + 4

= 3
