Answer: B. 55

Explanation:

You need to know that within one parallelogram, the same-side interior angles are supplementary angles, meaning that they add up to 180°.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given

(2x+15)+x=180

Expand parenthesis

2x+15+x=180

Combine like terms

3x+15=180

Subtract 15 on both sides

3x+15-15=180-15

3x=165

Divide 3 on both sides

3x/3=165/3

x=55

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
