Question
Help me solve for x
Transcribed Image Text:The image illustrates a closed figure with vertices labeled as P, Q, R, S, and T. The figure is composed of the following directed line segments, each accompanied by a vector magnitude indicated in terms of "x":
- **QP**: 4x
- **PR**: 5x
- **RS**: x
- **ST**: 2x
- **TP**: 3x
The diagram represents a polygonal path, with arrows showing the direction of each segment. Each segment is labeled with the vector magnitude, suggesting that these could be considered as vectors in a vector addition problem or a related mathematical concept. If analyzing vector addition, the sum of these vectors should theoretically form a closed loop, summing to zero.
