Answer:
1. KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)
2. 3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees
3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x
4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)
5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x
6. x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Notice that angle KLP + angle PLM is a straight line, so KLP + PLM = 180 degrees (straight line)
2. angle KLP = 3x, so
3x + angle PLM = 180 degrees
3. angle PLM = 180 - 3x
4. PMN = P + PLM (Exterior angle)
5. 2x + 72 = x + 180 - 3x
6. 5 gives 4x = 108, so x = 27
Answer:
a+2b
Step-by-step explanation:
2(a+2b)-a-2b
2a+4b-a-2b
=a+2b
