1. **Problem statement:** Given two parallel lines \(\overline{NO} \parallel \overline{PQ}\) and points as described, find the measure of angle \(m \angle QSR\). 2. **Identify given angles and relationships:** - \(m \angle NRO = (5x + 86)^\circ\) - \(m \angle PSQ = (10x + 46)^\circ\) - Lines \(NO\) and \(PQ\) are parallel, so corresponding or alternate interior angles are equal. 3. **Use parallel lines angle properties:** Since \(\overline{NO} \parallel \overline{PQ}\), angles \(\angle NRO\) and \(\angle PSQ\) are corresponding angles, so: $$ 5x + 86 = 10x + 46 $$ 4. **Solve for \(x\):** $$ 5x + 86 = 10x + 46 \\ 86 - 46 = 10x - 5x \\ 40 = 5x \\ x = \frac{40}{5} = 8 $$ 5. **Find \(m \angle PSQ\):** $$ m \angle PSQ = 10x + 46 = 10(8) + 46 = 80 + 46 = 126^\circ $$ 6. **Find \(m \angle QSR\):** Since \(\angle QSR\) and \(\angle PSQ\) are supplementary (they form a straight line at point S), $$ m \angle QSR = 180^\circ - m \angle PSQ = 180^\circ - 126^\circ = 54^\circ $$ **Final answer:** $$ m \angle QSR = 54^\circ $$
