The correct option is;

Angle Addition Postulate;

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two column proof can be presented as follows;

Statement                                                Reason

1. ∠PQR is a right angle                           Given

2. m∠PQR = 90°                                      Definition of Right Angle

3. m∠PQS + m∠SQR = m∠PQR               Angle Addition Postulate

4. m∠PQS + m∠SQR = 90°                       Substitution property of equality

5. ∠PQS and ∠SQR are complementary Definition of complementary angles

Given that the angle m∠PQR has angles m∠PQS and m∠SQR arranged adjacent to each other while sharing the same boundary segment, QS we have by the angle addition postulate;

m∠PQR is the sum of the angles m∠PQS and m∠SQR, therefore;

m∠PQR = m∠PQS + m∠SQR = 90°.

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
