Answer:
X = 17
Explanation:
m of angle I = m of angle P
So 3x + 4 = 72 - x
If you solve it step by step
4x + 4 = 72
4x = 68
(4x = 68) divided by 4
x would equal 17
x=17 degrees
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc)
so, m∠I=m∠P
thus, 3x+4=72-x
adding x to both sides,
4x+4=72
subtracting 4 from both sides,
4x=68
dividing by 4,
x=17
