Answer:

angle A = 116

x = 17

Explanation:

For first question:

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180 so,

14x + 4 + 2x + 9 + 5x -1 = 180 add like terms

21x + 12 = 180 subtract 12 from both sides

21x = 168 divide both sides by 21

x = 8 to find angle A replace x with 8

<A = 14*8 + 4

<A = 116

For second question:

Given is an isosceles triangle so angle P and Q are equal = 29

since the sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180,

29 + 29 + 8x - 14 = 180 add like terms

44 + 8x = 180 subtract 44 from both sides

8x = 136 divide both sides by 8

x = 17
