Answer:

x = 27

Explanation:

Statements Reasons.

1.
m \angle KLP + m \angle PLM = 180\° 1. By supplementary angles.

2.
3x+ m \angle PLM = 180\° 2. Substitution.

3.
m\angle PLM = 180-3x 3. Algebra.

4.
m \angle PMN = m \angle P + m \angle PLM 4. By exterior angle theorem.

5.
2x+72=x+180-3x 5. Substitution.

6. 6. Algebra.


2x+3x-x=180-72\\4x=108\\x=(108)/(2) =27
