Answer:

a= -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a=2+3a+10

In order to find the value of a, we have to isolate a on a single side of the equation

So,

subtracting 3a from both sides

a-3a = 2+10+3a-3a

=>a-3a=12

=> -2a = 12

Dividing both sides by -2

=> -2a/-2 = 12/-2

=> a = -6

The value of a in the given equation is -6 ..

Ok this is simple. first, lets look at the 123 angle, so the entire line is 180. subtract 123 from 180 and you have 57. a triangle will always add up to 180 degress aswell. so add 58 and 57 and thats 115. so since a triangle will always add up to 180, subtract 115 from 180 and you have the missing angle:
