To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You can use the Law of Sines to calculate the missing angle. You have that:


(a)/(SinA)=(b)/(SinB)

Where:


a=22\\ b=12\\ A=75degrees\\ B=x

2. Substitute values and solve for
x, as following:


(22)/(Sin(75))= (12)/(Sin(x))


Sin(x)=((12)(Sin(75)))/(22) \\ x=arcsin((12)(Sin(75)))/(22)\\ x=31.8degreees

Therefore, the answer is:
x=31.8degrees
