Given:


m\angle A=(2x-15)^\circ


m\angle B=(x-5)^\circ


\text{Exterior}\ m\angle C=148^\circ

To find:

The
m\angle ABC.

Solution:

In triangle ABC,


\text{Exterior}\ m\angle C=m\angle A+m\angle B [Exterior angle theorem]


148=(2x-15)+(x-5)


148=3x-20


148+20=3x


168=3x

Divide both sides by 3.


(168)/(3)=x


56=x

Now,


m\angle ABC=(x-5)^\circ


m\angle ABC=(56-5)^\circ


m\angle ABC=51^\circ

Therefore,
m\angle ABC=51^\circ.
