How do I do this math question, need answer asap

m∠RQS = 102°

m∠SQT = 78°

General Formulas and Concepts:

Definition of a Line: A line is 180°

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Set up equation

m∠RQS and m∠SQT must add up to m∠RQT.

m∠RQS + m∠SQT = m∠RQT

(20x + 2) + (15x + 3) = 180

Step 2: Solve for x

Step 3: Find m∠RQS

Step 4: Find m∠SQT

m∠RQS = 102

m∠TQS = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠RQS = (20x + 2)°

m∠TQS = (15x + 3)°

m∠RQS + m∠TQS = 180°

20x + 2 + 15x + 3 = 180

35x + 5 = 180

35x = 175

x = 5

m∠RQS = 20(5) + 2 = 100 + 2 = 102

m∠TQS = 15(5) + 3 = 75 + 3 = 78

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
