Answer:

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: It is given that m is parallel to n.

To find: The value of x.

Proof: It is given that m is parallel to n, from the figure it can be seen that 105° and (3x-15)° forms alternate exterior angles which are equal in measure because m is parallel to n.

Thus, 105^{\circ}=3x-15^{\circ}

⇒105^{\circ}+15^{\circ}=3x

⇒120^{\circ}=3x

⇒\frac{120}{3}=x

⇒x=40

Thus, the value of x is 40, hence option A is correct.
