@RCCB are you busy?

Answer 9

Hey, I know this bro
You want me to explain?

Answer 10

Yes please that would be great.

Answer 11

Triangle RST is congruent to NPQ
Measure of angle R = -7x + 9
Measure of angle N = -10x
This is what we are given
Angle R and angle N are congruent because of the congruent triangle rule
So, in other words, measure of angle N = measure of angle R
Or, -10x = -7x + 9
do you know how to simplify this?

Answer 12

-10x = -7x + 9
-3x = 9
/3 /3
x = -3 or is it 3?

Answer 13

Nope, you're right
It's -3
Now, plug it back into one angle equation to find the measure of both angles

Answer 14

I believe you were confused because
-3x = 9
/3 /3
-x = 3
/-1 /-1
x = -3

Answer 15

-10(-3) = -7(-3) + 9
30 = 21 + 9
R = 30, N = 30
Did I do this right?

Answer 16

Yep, you did it absolutely right!
Great job! ^_^
