Answer:
p=38\°

Explanation:

By definition, you know that:


(p+29\°)+(7p+27\°)=360\°

Therefore, keeping this on mind, you can find the value of p, as following.

- Add the like terms:


p+29\°+7p+27\°=360\°\\8p+56\°=360\°

- Subtract 56° from both sides of the equation and then divide both sides of thte equation by 8.

Therefore, you obtain that the value of p is:


8p+56\°-56\°=360\°-56\°\\8p=304\\\\(8p)/(8)=(304\°)/(8)\\p=38\°
