Answer:

x=15º

Explanation:

A triangle's angles add up to 180º.

∠A=30º

∠C=180º-45º

∠B=xº

To find ∠B we have to first find ∠C.

Since ∠C does not have an angle, knowing that a straight line is 180º we can subtract it from 45º to find ∠C.

180-45=135

∠C=135º

Now add ∠A and ∠C.

30+135=165

Subtract the sum from 180º

180-165=x

x=15º

Hope this helps :)
