Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

Looking at the triangle we know that it is a right triangleor a 90⁰ triangle.

(2x + 15)⁰ + x⁰ = 90⁰

2x + 15⁰ + x⁰ = 90⁰

2x + x + 15⁰ = 90⁰

3x + 15⁰ = 90⁰

3x + 15⁰ - 15⁰ = 90⁰ - 15⁰

3x = 75⁰

3x / 3 = 75⁰ / 3

x = 25⁰

Now plug the x value in the missing angles.

2x + 15⁰

2(25⁰) + 15⁰

50 + 15

65⁰

According to the sum of triangle, all angles add up to 180⁰. Even though this is a right triangle, it should add up 180⁰ in order to be a triangle.

65⁰ + 25⁰ + 90⁰ = 180⁰

Hope this helps and stay safe, happy, and healthy, thank you :) !!
