1. Problem Description

Given that line segment PQ is parallel to line segment RS, and the measures of angle PQR is xx and angle QRS is yy. We are asked to find the value of x+yx+y.

2. Solution Steps

Since PQ is parallel to RS, we know that PQR\angle PQR and QRS\angle QRS are interior angles on the same side of the transversal QR.
When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary. Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, we have:
x+y=180x + y = 180^\circ

3. Final Answer

x+y=180x+y = 180^\circ
