Question 1036073: if the measure of RQT is a straight angle what is the measure of angle RQS
i'll try to draw it the best i can T__________Q/___________R i used the back slash mark to show which way ray QS is going in between TQ is the equation 6x+20 and in between RQS is the equation 2x+4

if the measure of RQT is a straight angle what is the measure of angle RQS
i'll try to draw it the best i can T__________Q/___________R i used the back slash mark to show which way ray QS is going in between TQ is the equation 6x+20 and in between RQS is the equation 2x+4
--------------------
angle RQT = angle RQS + angle TQS
180 degrees = 2x+4 + 6x+20
8x + 24 = 180
8x = 156
x = 19.5
----
angle RQS = 2x+4 = 2*19.5+4 = 43 degrees
angle TQS = 6x+20 = 6*19.5+20 = 137 degrees
