Answer:

99°

Explanation:

∠7 and ∠8 are a linear pair, so are supplementary. Numbers are assumed to be degrees.

∠7 + ∠8 = 180

2x+15 + 3x = 180 . . . . . substitute given values

5x = 165 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 15, collect terms

x = 33 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

∠8 = 3x = 3·33 = 99 . . . . . degrees
