P=33+6.71
= 39.71
add 33+ 6.71
So 2x+12=5x-9
you want all of the unknowns on one side and all of the known values on the other or
subtract 2x from both sides
12=3x-9
add 9 to both sides
21=3x
divide both sides by 3
7=x
Answer:
m∠M = 79°
m∠N = 66°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠MPN is supplementary to ∠MPQ, so m∠MPN = 35
The sum of the measures of a triangle is 180.
So, m∠M + m∠N + m∠MPN = 180
5y + 4 + 4y + 6 + 35 = 180
9y + 45 = 180
9y = 135
y = 15
m∠M = 5y + 4 = 5(15) + 4 = 75 + 4 = 79
m∠N = 4y + 6 = 4(15) + 6 = 66
Another way to do this problem, which is easier, is to know that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles.
That means 5y + 4 + 4y + 6 = 145
9y + 10 = 145
9y = 135
y = 15
From knowing the value of y you can now find the measures of angles M and N
