Answer:


\huge\boxed{82 \textdegree}

Explanation:

We know that all angles in a triangle will add up to 180°. Since we know the measure of all 3 angles, we can create this equation:


31+x+(x-15) = 180

Let's solve for x.

Combine like terms:


31+2x-15=180

Add 15 to both sides:


31+2x=195

Subtract 31 from both sides:


2x=164

Divide both sides by 2:


x= 82

So x is 82°.

Hope this helped!
