![### Geometry Problem: Solving for x
#### Question:
What is the value of x?
Enter your answer in the box.
\[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{ units} \]
#### Diagram Explanation:
This question includes a diagram of a triangle \( \triangle PQR \) with the following specifics:
1. \( P \) is at the top vertex, and \( R \) is at the bottom-right vertex.
2. The triangle contains a line \( AD \), which is parallel to side \( PR \).
3. Point \( A \) is on side \( PQ \), point \( D \) is on the line \( AD \), and point \( C \) is somewhere between points \( Q \) and \( R \).
4. The lengths are given as follows:
- \( PA = 10 \)
- \( AD = 15 \)
- \( DC = 42 \)
- \( RC = x \)
#### Instruction:
Using the given measurements and properties of parallel lines within the triangle, solve for the value of \( x \). Enter your answer in the space provided in units.
Please use appropriate mathematical principles to calculate the value.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9b717370-ac2a-4449-94d5-6954bef42bac%2Fdf90f73d-916a-4636-8642-39587ddc6683%2Fy64q4oc_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
