Question

If PQR ~ SQT, find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

First you add P and Q together which equals x+13

Then divide x+13 and 8 and make it equal to 21/x-9

x should then equal 15

x+13/9 = 21/x-9

x^2+4x−117=168

x^2+4x−285=0

(x−15)(x+19)=0

x=15

it cannot be a negative number so x cannot be -19

Answer 2

The value of x is 15.

• The calculation is as follows;

Here first we add P and Q together that equals x+13

After this, it  divide x+13 and 8 and make it equal to $21\div x-9$

Now x should then equal 15

$x+13\div 9 = 21\div x-9\\x^2+4x−117=168\\\\x^2 + 4x-285=0$

(x−15)(x+19)=0

x = 15

Therefore we can conclude that The value of x is 15.
