Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

Straight angles/lines are equal to 180 degrees. If you add the equations together to get 180 and simplify you'll find the answer. So, start out with the equation 2x+45+x=180.

1. Add like terms. 3x+45=180

2. Subtract 45 from both sides. 3x=135

3. Divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself. x=45

4. Just to make sure, plug in 45 for x. 2(45)+45+45=180. Sure enough, it works!
