Answer:

x=6

B = 20

Explanation:

The exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

55+ 3x+2 = 13x-3

Combine like terms

57+3x = 13x -3

Subtract 3x from each side

57+3x-3x = 13x-3x-3

57 = 10x-3

Add 3 to each side

57+3 = 10x-3+3

60 = 10x

Divide each side by 10

60/10 = 10x/10

6 =x

We also want angle B

B = 3x+2

3*6+2

18+2

20
