Answer:

x = 65 degrees

Explanation:

Let's say z=the angle adjacent (next to) to the 145 degrees angle.

80 + x + z = 180 ==> 180 is the total number of degrees in a triangle

z + 145 = 180 ==> In addition, if you add up Angle z and 145

degrees, you get a straight line which totals to 180

degrees

z + 145 - 145 = 180 - 145 ==> solve for z

z = 35 degrees

80 + x + z = 180

80 + x + 35 = 180 ==> plug in 35 for z

80 + 35 + x = 180

115 + x = 180 ==> solve for x

115 - 115 + x = 180 - 115 ==> simplify

x = 65 degrees
