Answer:
m∠QPM=43°
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
m∠NPQ=m∠MPN+m∠MPQ
we have
m∠NPQ=(9x-25)°
m∠MPN=(4x+12)°
m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°
substitute the given values and solve for x
(9x-25)°=(4x+12)°+(3x-5)°
(9x-25)°=(7x+7)°
9x-7x=25+7
2x=32
x=16
Find the measure of angle QPM
Remember that
m∠QPM=m∠MPQ
m∠MPQ=(3x-5)°
substitute the value of x
m∠MPQ=(3(16)-5)=43°
therefore
m∠QPM=43°
