Explanation:
Step 1: Set up equation
m∠LMN and m∠NMP must add up to m∠LMP
(2x - 1)° + (5x + 3)° = 107°
Step 2: Solve for x
- Combine like terms: 7x + 2 = 107
- Isolate x term: 7x = 105
- Isolate x: x = 15
Step 3: Find m∠LMN
- Define: m∠LMN = (2x - 1)°
- Substitute in x: m∠LMN = (2(15) - 1)°
- Multiply: m∠LMN = (30 - 1)°
- Subtract: m∠LMN = 29°
