Step-by-step solution

Here are the solutions for parts (B) and (C).

Part b· 2 steps

Find the values of xx and yy

  1. Find the value of xx.

    Angles ∠PQR\angle PQR and ∠RQS\angle RQS are angles on a straight line PSPS, so their sum is 180∘180^\circ.

    ∠PQR+∠RQS=180∘\angle PQR + \angle RQS = 180^\circ

    Substitute the given expressions for the angles:

    2x+(3x+15∘)=180∘2x + (3x + 15^\circ) = 180^\circ

    Combine like terms:

    5x+15∘=180∘5x + 15^\circ = 180^\circ

    Subtract 15∘15^\circ from both sides:

    5x=180∘−15∘5x = 180^\circ - 15^\circ 5x=165∘5x = 165^\circ

    Divide by 5:

    x=1655x = \frac{165}{5} x=33x = 33
  2. Find the value of yy.

    First, calculate ∠PQR\angle PQR using the value of xx:

    ∠PQR=2x=2(33∘)=66∘\angle PQR = 2x = 2(33^\circ) = 66^\circ

    The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ. For △PQR\triangle PQR:

    ∠RPQ+∠PQR+∠PRQ=180∘\angle RPQ + \angle PQR + \angle PRQ = 180^\circ

    Substitute the known angle values:

    70∘+66∘+y∘=180∘70^\circ + 66^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ

    Add the known angles:

    136∘+y∘=180∘136^\circ + y^\circ = 180^\circ

    Subtract 136∘136^\circ from both sides:

    y∘=180∘−136∘y^\circ = 180^\circ - 136^\circ y=44y = 44

    The values are x=33,y=44\boxed{x = 33, y = 44}.

Part c(x+3)(y+2)

Factorize the expression 2x+xy+6+3y2x + xy + 6 + 3y

  1. Group the terms.

    Group the first two terms and the last two terms:

    (2x+xy)+(6+3y)(2x + xy) + (6 + 3y)
  2. Factor out the common factor from each group.

    From the first group, factor out xx:

    x(2+y)x(2 + y)

    From the second group, factor out 3:

    3(2+y)3(2 + y)

    Now the expression is:

    x(2+y)+3(2+y)x(2 + y) + 3(2 + y)
  3. Factor out the common binomial factor (2+y)(2 + y).

    (2+y)(x+3)(2 + y)(x + 3)

    The factored expression is (x+3)(y+2)\boxed{(x+3)(y+2)}.
