Answer 1

X = 17

Explanation:

m of angle I = m of angle P

So 3x + 4 = 72 - x

If you solve it step by step

4x + 4 = 72

4x = 68

(4x = 68) divided by 4

x would equal 17

Answer 2

x=17 degrees

Explanation:

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc)

so, m∠I=m∠P

thus, 3x+4=72-x

adding x to both sides,

4x+4=72

subtracting 4 from both sides,

4x=68

dividing by 4,

x=17
