HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If ∠m ≅ ∠p, m∠m = 9x - 2, and m∠p = 4x + 18, how many degrees are in ∠p?

Question

anonymous · Answer

you got a picture?  i think there are too many m's here

anonymous · Answer

it might simply mean 
"solve $9x-2=4x+18$"

anonymous · Answer

No picture. That is the exact question.

anonymous · Answer

maybe it has 
$\large m∠M = 9x - 2$ ?

anonymous · Answer

no matter, i am pretty sure the real question is to solve 
$$\large9x-2=4x+18$$ do you know how to do it?

anonymous · Answer

No I do not.

anonymous · Answer

9x -4x = 18 +2
5x = 20 
x =4

anonymous · Answer

subtract $4x$ from both sides to get 
$$\large 5x-2=18$$

anonymous · Answer

then add 2 to both sides to get 
$$\large 5x=20$$ and finally divide by 5 to get $x=4$

anonymous · Answer

Thats not a answer choice.

anonymous · Answer

that is because we solved for $x$ not for $p$

anonymous · Answer

$p=4x+18$ and $x=4$ so that means 
$$p=4\times 4+18$$

anonymous · Answer

i hope $34$ is a choice

anonymous · Answer

that is very confusing satellite73
