Answer:
m ∠JPN = 131°
Step-by-step explanation:
m ∠JPL = m ∠MPK Vertical angles are =
7x + 19 = 11x -17 Substitution
- 4x = -36 Algebra: Solving for x
x = 9 Algebra: Solving for x
m ∠JPL = 82° Substitution x = 9 into m ∠JPL = 7x +19
m ∠JPL + m ∠LPK = 180° Definition of linear pair/supplement
angles = 180°
82° + m ∠LPK = 180° Substitution
m ∠LPK = 98° Algebra
m ∠LPK = m ∠LPN + m ∠NPK Angle addition Theorem
PN bisects ∠LPK Given
m ∠LPN = m ∠NPK Definition of angle bisector
98 ° = 2 ( m ∠LPN) Substitution
m ∠LPN = 49° Algebra
m ∠JPN = m ∠JPL + m ∠LPN Angle Addition
m ∠JPN = 82° + 49° Substitution
m ∠JPN = 131° Addition
