Math Problem Statement

𝘮∠𝘕𝘖𝘗=𝟤𝘹+𝟤, 𝘮∠𝘗𝘖𝘙=𝟥𝘹−𝟧,m normal angle upper P upper O upper R times equals 3 times sans-serif-italic x minus 5 comma and 𝘮∠𝘕𝘖𝘘=𝟣𝟣𝟦

Solution

Given the problem:

  • mNOP=2x+2m∠NOP = 2x + 2
  • mPOR=3x5m∠POR = 3x - 5
  • mNOQ=114m∠NOQ = 114^\circ

It appears that angles NOP∠NOP and POR∠POR are part of the same angle NOQ∠NOQ, which has a measure of 114114^\circ. This implies that:

mNOP+mPOR=mNOQm∠NOP + m∠POR = m∠NOQ

We can now set up the equation:

(2x+2)+(3x5)=114(2x + 2) + (3x - 5) = 114

Let's simplify and solve for xx:

2x+3x+25=1142x + 3x + 2 - 5 = 114 5x3=1145x - 3 = 114 5x=1175x = 117 x=1175=23.4x = \frac{117}{5} = 23.4

Now that we have x=23.4x = 23.4, we can substitute it back into the expressions for mNOPm∠NOP and mPORm∠POR to find the measures of these angles:

  1. mNOP=2x+2=2(23.4)+2=46.8+2=48.8m∠NOP = 2x + 2 = 2(23.4) + 2 = 46.8 + 2 = 48.8^\circ
  2. mPOR=3x5=3(23.4)5=70.25=65.2m∠POR = 3x - 5 = 3(23.4) - 5 = 70.2 - 5 = 65.2^\circ

Thus:

  • mNOP=48.8m∠NOP = 48.8^\circ
  • mPOR=65.2m∠POR = 65.2^\circ
  • mNOQ=114m∠NOQ = 114^\circ (which checks out since 48.8+65.2=11448.8 + 65.2 = 114).
