Question

If LMP = (6x+5), NMP = (4x +18) and NML = 163°, find the measure of PMN. im sorry i dont understand geometry at all can someone help?

Answer 1

PMN = 74°

Explanation:

1. 6x + 5 + 4x + 18 = 163°

2. Combine like terms

3. 10x + 23 = 163°

4. Subtract 23 from both sides.

5. 10x = 140°

6. Divide 10 from both sides.

7. x = 14°

8. Now substitute the x in the equation for PMN with 14.

9. 4(14) + 18

10. Simplify

11. 56 + 18

12. Answer: 74°
