3 0

A rule of thumb in these type of equations (at least, for me, personally) is to bracket off the like term. We’ve got 3 things here, so we gotta bracket them.
(5)+(10s-8s)
So now, we’ve got them separated. Next, we perform our given function. In this case, we subtract 8 from 10, leaving us with 2.
(5)+(2s)
As we no longer have any like terms, to be simplified or otherwise, we open the brackets:
5+2s
And you’ve obtained your answer!
Answer= 5+2s

Answer:

Using the Angle Addition Postulate, 20 + m∠DBC = 80. So, m∠DBC = 60° using the subtraction property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

If point D is the interior of angle ABC, then the angle addition postulate theory states that the sum of angle ABD and angle DBC is equals to angle ABC. The angle addition postulate is used to measure the resulting angle from two angles placed side by side.

From the attached image, ∠ABD and ∠DBC are placed side by side to form ∠ABC. Given that m∠ABD = 20° and m∠ABC = 80°

Hence, using angle addition postulate:

m∠ABD + m∠DBC = m∠ABC

20 + m∠DBC = 80

subtracting 20 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)

m∠DBC = 80 - 20

m∠DBC = 60°
