$\huge\boxed{s=0.6}$

First, simplify. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting. $-0.2=s-0.8$

Add $0.8$ on both sides. $-0.2+0.8=s$

Rearrange the terms to simplify. $0.8-0.2=s$

Subtract. $\boxed{0.6=s}$

Answer:

5 is the value which makes the equation true .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have provided an equation that is 9 ( 3x - 16 ) + 15 = 6x - 24 . And we are asked to write the steps to solve the equation with explanation  and to find the value of X .

Solution : -

$\longmapsto \quad \: 9(3x - 16) + 15 = 6x - 24$

Step 1 : Solving parenthesis on left side using distributive property which means multiplying 9 with 3x as well as -16 :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x - \bold{144 }+ \bold{15 }= 6x - 24$

Step 2 : Solving like terms on left side that are -144 and 15 :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x -129 = 6x - 24$

Step 3 : Adding 129 on both sides :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x - \cancel{129} - \cancel{129} = 6x \bold{ - 24 } + \bold{129}$

Now on cancelling -129 with 129 on left side and solving the terms that are -24 and 129 on right side , We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:27x = 6x + 105$

Step 4 : Subtracting with 6x on both sides :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \bold{27x} - \bold{6x} = \cancel{6x} +105 - \cancel{ 6x}$

On calculating further, We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:21x = 105$

Step 5 : Now we are Dividing with 21 on both sides so that we can isolate the variable that is x :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \dfrac{ \cancel{21}x}{ \cancel{21}} = \dfrac{105}{ 21}$

Now , by cancelling 21 with 21 on left side , We get :

$\longmapsto \quad \:x = \cancel{\dfrac{105}{21}}$

Step 6 : Now our final step is to simplify the value of x that is 105/21 . We know that 21 × 5 is equal to 105 . So :

$\longmapsto \quad \: \purple{\underline{\boxed{\frak{ x = 5 }}}}$

Henceforth , value of x is 5

Verifying : -

Now we are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in the given equation . So ,

9 ( 3x - 16 ) + 15 = 6x - 24

9 [ 3 ( 5 ) - 16 ] + 15 = 6 ( 5 ) - 24

9 ( 15 - 16 ) + 15 = 30 - 24

9 ( -1 ) + 15 = 6

-9 + 15 = 6

6 = 6

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence , Verified .

Therefore, our value for x is correct that means it'll makes the equation true .

The figure shows three exterior angles of triangle ABC. Show that the measure of angle 1 plus the measure of angle 2 plus the me

ivolga24 [154]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle near point A be $A$ .

Let the angle near point B be $B$ .

Let the angle near point C be $C$ .

Let the external angle near point A be $extA$ .

Let the external angle near point B be $extB$ .

Let the external angle near point C be $extC$ .

According to exterior angle property,exterior angle of an angle is the sum of other two angles.

So,

$extA=B+C\\extB=A+C\\extC=A+B$

According to angle sum property,the sum of angles in the triangle add to $180$

$extA+extB+extC=B+C+A+C+A+B=2(A+B+C)=2\times 180=360^{0}$
