Answer:

∠ ABC = 55°

Explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ ABD is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

6x + 5 = x + 45 + 3x

6x + 5 = 4x + 45 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x + 5 = 45 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 20

Then

∠ ABD = 6x + 5 = 6(20) + 5 = 120 + 5 = 125°

∠ ABD and ∠ ABC are adjacent angles and are supplementary, thus

∠ ABC = 180° - ∠ ABD = 180° - 125° = 55°
