Answer:

D

Explanation:

The sum of two remote interior angles (a remote interior angle is the interior angle that is not supplementary to the exterior angle given -- in this case A and B are remote angles) equals the exterior angle.

In This case A + B = 140

A = x + 2

B = 2x

x +2 + 2x = 140

3x + 2 = 140 Subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 138 Divide by 3

x = 138/3

x = 46

<B = 2x

<B = 2*46

<B = 92
