Answer:

65

Explanation:

They are vertical angles; so angles are congruent

*Vertical angles are always congruent*

Congruent means equal or same.

1) Since they are congruent, you form an equation.

145 = 2x + 15

2) Solve by subtracting 15 from both sides.

145 = 2x + 15

- 15 -15

----------------------

130 = 2x

3) Solve by dividing 2 from both sides

130/2 = 2x/2

4) Simplify

x = 65
