Answer:

Okay, so the picture is a different question than the text.

The answer to the picture is:

67

The answer to the text is:

79

Explanation:

I'll explain the picture one.

The line PQR can be represented as
PQ + QR=PR. Since we already know the measure of QR and PR, we can substitute inside the equation to try and find PQ.


PQ + 21 = 88

Our goal is to isolate PQ on one side.

To do this we can subtract 21 from both sides.


PQ + 21 - 21 = 88-21\\\\PQ=67

Hope this helped!
