All the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
Since two of the angles are the same, we can write:

Where 2A accounts for the two angles that are the same.
We are given the relation:

We can plug this into our first equation:

Combine like terms and move the 30 to the other side:

Divide both sides by 3:

We can solve for B by plugging A back into our relation:

To check: , so we are correct.
