Answer:

∠Q = 75 °

Step-by-step explanation:

Since PR = PQ then Δ PQR is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is

∠R = ∠Q = 2x + 15

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

2x + 15 + 2x + 15 + x = 180, that is

5x + 30 = 180 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

5x = 150 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 30

Hence

∠Q = 2x + 15 = (2 × 30) + 15 = 60 + 15 = 75°
