Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Both angles (2x+45) and x together form a straight angle which measures 180 degrees.
Together should make you think of adding the angle measurements.
So we have that (2x+45)+x should be 180 degrees.
The equation we want to solve is:
(2x+45)+x=180
2x+45+x=180
(2x+x)+45=180
3x+45=180
3x=180-45
3x=135
x=135/3
x=45
Let's confirm that x is 45.
(2x+45) with x=45:
(2*45+45)
(3*45)
135
So (2x+45)+x at x=45 gives us:
135+45
180
