There are angles whose measures add to 180°
. Their measures are: m∠A=67° , m∠B=(2x+20)° , and m∠C=x° . What is the measure of ∠B ?(1 point)

To find the measure of angle B, we can set up the equation:
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
Substituting in the given measures, we have:
67° + (2x+20)° + x° = 180°
Combining like terms, we have:
3x + 87° = 180°
Subtracting 87° from both sides:
3x = 93°
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 31°
Now we can find the measure of angle B:
m∠B = 2x + 20°
m∠B = 2(31°) + 20°
m∠B = 62° + 20°
m∠B = 82°
So, the measure of angle B is 82°.
