Answer:

56

Explanation:

Hey There!

so this is a parallelogram so opposite angles are congruent

So basically what i am saying is that angle P is congruent to angle R

So we need to solve for x

We know that angle P and angle Q are supplements meaning that they will add up to 180

so we setup the equation


180=3x+5+8x-12\\

step 1 combine like terms


3x+8x=11x\\5-12=-7

now we have

180=11x-7

step 2 add 7 to each side

180+7=187

-7+7 cancels out

now we have

187=11x

step 2 divide each side by 11

187/11=17

x=17

now we plug in 17 to (3x+5) to get the value of angle R

17x3=51

51+5=56

therefore m∠R = 56
