Answer:

A. 25°

Explanation:

The angles on either side of the bisector are congruent, so ...

(3x -5)° = (x +15)°

2x = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °; add 5-x

x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

Substitute this result into the expression for the angle measure:

m∠BAC = (3·10 -5)° = 25°
