Answer:

x= 3

Explanation:

∠RTS +∠RST= ∠QRT (ext. ∠ of △RST)

(25x)° +(57 +x)°= (45x)°

25x° +x° +57°= 45x°

26x° +57°= 45x°

45x° -26x°= 57°

19x°= 57°

x°= 57° ÷19

x°= 3°

x= 3

Alternatively, find the measure of the angle RST using ∠ sum of triangle then find ∠QRT using adjacent angles on a straight line. Equate this value to 45x and solve for x.
