The calculated measure of the angle N is 92 degrees

How to determine the measure of the angle N

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

∠M = 3x + 1

∠N = 3x -8

∠O= x + 82

∠P = 2x + 15

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees

So, we have

M + N + O + P = 360

Substitute the known values into the equation

3x + 1 + 3x - 8 + x + 82 + 2x - 15 = 360

Collect the like terms

3x + 3x + x + 2x = 360 - 1 + 8 - 82 + 15

9x = 300

Divide through by 9

x = 100/3

Recall that

∠N = 3x -8

So, we have

∠N = 3 * 100/3 - 8

∠N = 92

Hence, the measure of the angle N is 92 degrees
