Answer:

x= 45

Explanation:

In this diagram, there is an angle that is split into 2 angles.

The angle is a 90 degree angle. We know this because of the little square in the corner that denotes a right angle.

Therefore, the 2 angles inside of the right angle must add to 90 degrees. The 2 angles that make up the right angle are x and 45.

x+45=90

We want to find x. We need to get x by itself. 45 is being added on to x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 45 from both sides.

x+45-45=90-45

x= 90-45

x=45

The measure of angle x is 45 degrees.
