Two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to \(180^\circ\). In this case, we have:

\[ m∠QRS + m∠SRT = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the given measures:

\[ (x + 16) + (3x) = 180^\circ \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ 4x + 16 = 180^\circ \]

Next, subtract \(16\) from both sides:

\[ 4x = 164^\circ \]

Now, divide by \(4\):

\[ x = 41^\circ \]

Now we can find the measure of \( ∠SRT \):

\[ m∠SRT = 3x = 3(41) = 123^\circ \]

Thus, the measure of \( ∠SRT \) is:

\[ \boxed{123^\circ} \]
