Answer:

QS = 12

Explanation:

Hello!

We can see that QS is the sum of QR and RS, which is equal to 6x.

We can substitute the given values to solve for x, and then use that to find QS.

Solve for x

  • QS = QR + RS
  • 6x = 8 + x + 2 Substitute values
  • 6x = 10 + x Combine like terms
  • 5x = 10 Subtract x
  • x = 2 Divide by 2

The value of x is 2. We can now find QS by substituting 2 for x in 6x.

QS = 12.
