To find the value of x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x - 2 = 16       Add 2 on both sides

3x - 2 + 2 = 16 + 2

3x = 18         Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{18}{3}

x = 6

PROOF

3x - 2 = 16      Substitute/plug in 6 into "x" since x = 6

3(6) - 2 = 16

18 - 2 = 16

16 = 16

A triangle has angles measuring 15° and 45°. What is the measurement of the triangle’s third angle?
nexus9112 [7]
First you need to know that the internal angles of a triangle always equals 180°. Therefore:

15+45= 90°

Then since the angles should equal 180, you do:

180-90=90

So the missing angle equals 90°
