Explanation Given: The given angles are m ∠ 2 = x + 15 and m ∠ 3 = 2 x . The given figure is, Definition: The sum of measures of angles formed on straight line is supplementary angle. Calculation: From the given figure it can be observed that ∠ 2 and ∠ 3 are supplementary angles. m ∠ 2 + m ∠ 3 = 180 ° Substitute x + 15 for m ∠ 2 and 2 x for m ∠ 3 in above equation.
