Converting triangular load into point load of 36 KN. Also $VA=0 $

Now, applying conditions of equilibrium

$\sum Fx= 0$ (no force acting in x direction)

$\sum FY= VA - 40 - 36 + RB - P = 0 \\ RB - P = 76 \text {_____}(ii) \\ \sum MFA \cong 0 [ +ve] \\ 20 + 40(2) + 36(5) - RB(6) + P(9) = 0 \\ -6RB + 9P = - 280 \text {_____} (iii) \\ RB = 134.67 KN \\ P = 58.67 KN$

The support reaction at B is 134.67 KN & the load P is $58.67KN$
