Question

The attachment above is my assignment i need to find the measurement of P and have my work shown, is there anyone who could please help thank you.

Answer 1

Note that 2x+5 and 7x-14 are adjacent to one another on the same straight line. Thus, they must add up to 180 degrees:

2x+5+7x-14=180

9x - 9 = 180, or 9x = 189. Then x = 21, giving 7x-14 the value 147-14, or 133.

Angles P and 7x-14 are the same, so P is also 133 degrees.
