Question

geometry, (p+1) + (p+23) + 2p = 180 what is the value of p?p = [ ]°

Answer 1

Explanation:

As you said in the question the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180º

$(p+1)+(p+23)+(2p)=180$

We have to sum the terms that have p and the terms that don't:

$(p+p+2p)+(1+23)=180$$\begin{gathered} 4p+24=180 \\ 4p=180-24 \\ 4p=156 \\ p=\frac{156}{4}=39 \end{gathered}$

Answer:

p = 39
