Answer:

MQP = 138

Explanation:

Since the angle bisector always divides the angle in half exactly, we know both of the angle measures we have are the same, and set it up like this: 5x + 19 = 2x + 49 (subtract 2x from both sides) 3x + 19 = 49 (subtract 19 on both sides) 3x = 30 (divide by 3) x = 10

Substitute that x value (10) into the original equations in place of x for each angle to get MQN = 69 and NQP = 69

Add the two values to get 138. MQP = 138

Answer:

138

Explanation:

QN bisects ∠MQP. ⇒ ∠MQN = ∠NQP

5x + 19 = 2x + 49

Subtract 19 from both sides

5x = 2x + 49 - 19

5x = 2x + 30

Subtract 2x from both sides

5x -2x = 30

3x = 30

x = 30/3

x = 10

∠MQN = 5x + 19

= 5*10 + 19

= 50 +19

= 69

∠MQP = ∠MQN +∠NQP = 69 + 69 = 138
