Answer:

m<NQS = 32°

Explanation:

Given:

m<BQS = 80°

m<BQN = 48°

Required:

m<NQS

SOLUTION:

Angle BQN and angle NQS are adjacent angles having a common line, QN, and a common corner point, Q.

Therefore:

m<BQN + m<NQS = m<BQS (angle addition postulate)

48° + m<NQS = 80° (substitution)

m<NQS = 80 - 48° (Subtraction of 48 from each side)

m<NQS = 32°
