Because
\angle A and
\angle B are alternate exterior angles, this means they congruent or equal to each other.

Therefore, we can say
5x-15 = 2x+21 and use this equation to solve for x.

5x-15 = 2x+21

5x = 2x+36

3x = 36

x = 12
So x is equal to 12. After finding this, we can now go back to the equation for
\angle B and plugin x to solve it.

\angle B = 2x +21


\angle B = 2(12) +21

\angle B = 24 +21

\angle B = 45
Therefore,
\angle B is equal to 45 degrees.

Angle B= 45 degrees
Angle A = 45 degrees

A and B are congruent since they are alternate exterior angles
5x-15 = 2x +21
5x = 2x +36
3x=36
X=12
B)
2x12+21 = 45
A)
5x12-15 =45
