Answer

1) Angle LAP = Angle LAR = 76 degrees

2) Line AL dividing Angle PAR into two equal parts (Angle LAP and Angle LAR), is a bisector of Angle PAR.

Step-by-step explanation

Adjacent angles are angles that share the same side and a common vertex (that is, the same corner point) and don't overlap.

We are told that Angle LAP and Angle LAR are adjacent angles belonging to the vertex PAR.

This means that line AL divides Angle PAR into two parts; Angle LAP and Angle LAR.

Angle PAR = (Angle LAP) + (Angle LAR)

Angle PAR = 2 (3x + 7)

Angle LAP = 3x + 7

Angle LAR = 4 (x - 4)

Angle PAR = (Angle LAP) + (Angle LAR)

2 (3x + 7) = 3x + 7 + 4 (x - 4)

6x + 14 = 3x + 7 + 4x - 16

6x + 14 = 7x - 9

7x - 9 = 6x + 14

7x - 6x = 14 + 9

x = 23 degrees

Angle PAR = 2 (3x + 7) = 6x + 14 = 6(23) + 14 = 138 + 14 = 152 degrees

Angle LAP = 3x + 7 = 3 (23) + 7 = 76 degrees

Angle LAR = 4 (x - 4) = 4x - 16 = 4(23) - 16 = 92 - 16 = 76 degrees

Since Angle LAP = Angle LAR

It means that the line AL dividing Angle PAR into two equal parts (Angle LAP and Angle LAR), is a bisector of Angle PAR.

Hope this Helps!!!
