Answer: 65°

Explanation:

You can determine the total degree within a shape by using the formula 180°(n-2), where n is the number of sides of the shape. Thus, the total degree within the parallelogram is 360°.

Angles sum up to the total degree, meaning we need to add up all the angles we see and set them equal to the total degree. We have two (2x-15) and two x's.

2(2x-15) + 2x = 360

Distribute the 2 to (2x-15), you will get 4x - 30.

4x - 30 + 2x = 360

Add like terms, 4x + 2x to get 6x.

6x - 30 = 360

Add both sides by 30 to isolate the 6x, because we are trying to determine the value of x, we need to isolate the term.

6x = 390

Divide both sides by 6, and you are left with the value of x being 65°
