Answer:

SUM = 114+66= 180

Explanation:

The sum of the two exterior angles is 180° because the two exterior angles are lying on a straight line and straight line is 180°.

So,

(5x-21)+(2x+12) = 180°

5x-21+2x+12 = 180

5x+ 2x -21 +12 = 180

7x - 9 = 180

7x = 189

x = 189/7 = 27

So

5x-21 = (5*27) - 21 = 135 - 21 = 114

 2x+12 = 2 * 27 + 12 = 54+12 = 66

SUM = 114+66= 180

Explanation:

For the equilibrium:

\rho_{wood}gh-\rho_{oil}g(h-x)-\rho_{water}gx=0ρ

wood

gh−ρ

oil

g(h−x)−ρ

water

gx=0

\rho_{wood}h-\rho_{oil}(h-x)-\rho_{water}x=0ρ

wood

h−ρ
