Step-by-step explanation:

As you said in the question the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180º


(p+1)+(p+23)+(2p)=180

We have to sum the terms that have p and the terms that don't:


(p+p+2p)+(1+23)=180
\begin{gathered} 4p+24=180 \\ 4p=180-24 \\ 4p=156 \\ p=(156)/(4)=39 \end{gathered}

Answer:

p = 39
