Question

PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS KHAN ACADEMY QUESTION!!!!!!!

Answer 1

49

Explanation:

(5x+34) + (8x+15)= 88

13x + 49 = 88

13x= 39

x=3

RPS= 5(3)+34

RPS= 15 +34

RPS= 49

Answer 2

∠RPS = 49º

Explanation:

∠RPS + ∠QPR = 88º

(5x + 34) + (8x + 15) = 88

13x + 49 = 88

13x = 39

x = 3

plug x into equations:

∠RPS = 5(3) + 34

∠RPS = 15 + 34

∠RPS = 49º

check work:

∠QPR = 8(3) + 15

∠QPR = 24 + 15

∠QPR = 39

∠RPS + ∠QPR = 88º

49 + 39 = 88
