Question

Find x and PQ (50 points)

Answer 1

x = 15 PQ = 93

Explanation:

the lengths of both equations should be the same, as they are both right triangles of the same c-side length

8x-27=4x+33

+27 +27

8x = 4x + 60

-4x -4x

4x = 60

/4 /4

x = 15

now solve the equation for PQ

8(15) - 27

120 - 27

93
