Answer:

5. m<STP = 134

6. m<PTS = 158

Explanation:

5. Since ray TR bisects <PTS, angles PTR and STR are congruent.

m<PTR = m<STR

3x - 8 = 2x + 17

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x - 8 = 17

Add 8 to both sides.

x = 25

m<STP = 2m<PTR

m<STP = 2(3x - 8)

m<STP = 2(3 × 25 - 8)

m<STP = 2(67)

m<STP = 134

6.

2m<PTR = m<PTS

2(x - 23) = x + 56

2x - 46 = x + 56

x = 102

m<PTS = x + 56

m<PTS = 102 + 56

m<PTS = 158
