Answer:

[tex]p = 7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So the key is that a line has a measure of 180 degrees. Notice the square between the rays. That is a 90-degree angle. So let's add this up and see what's going on

[tex](5p + 2) + 90 + (7p + 4) = 180[/tex]

[tex]12p + 96 = 180[/tex]

[tex]12p = 84[/tex]

[tex]p = 7[/tex]

Answer:

p = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, we can see that all the angles given form a straight line, and therefore add up to 180°.

We can create an equation with what is given:

***The angle with the square marked is 90°.

5p° + 2° + 90° + 7p° + 4° = 180°

You can combine the like terms, getting:

12p° + 96° = 180°

Now, subtract 96° from both sides:

12p° = 84°

Now, divide by 12°, and get:

p = 7
