Answer:

x = 15

∠AOB = 15°

∠BOC = 165°

Explanation:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180°

$\sf \implies \angle AOB + \angle BOC=180$

Substitute the given expressions for the angles:

$\sf \implies (2x - 15) + 11x = 180$

Collect and combine like terms:

$\sf \implies 2x +11x- 15=180$

$\sf \implies 13x- 15=180$

Add 15 to both sides:

$\sf \implies 13x- 15+15=180+15$

$\sf \implies 13x=195$

Divide both sides by 13:

$\sf \implies (13x)/(13)=(195)/(13)$

$\sf \implies x=15$

Now substitute the found value of x into the expressions for each angle:

$\sf \implies \angle AOB =2(15)-15=15^(\circ)$

$\sf \implies \angle BOC =11(15)=165^(\circ)$
