Question

I don’t know how to solve for p.

Answer 1

p=12

Explanation:

DBC = 180

ABE = 180

ABC + DBA = 180

ABC = (5p -28)

DBA + (12p -4)

CBD = ABC + DBA = 180

-------------------------------------------------

180 = (5p - 28) + (12p + 4)

180 = 17p - 24

204 = 17p

12 = p

p = 12

------------------------------------------------------

180 = (5(12) - 28) + (12(12) +4)

180 = 60 - 28 + 144 +4

180 = 180
