To find the measure of ∠B, we can set up an equation by using the fact that the sum of all three angles is 180°.

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

Substituting the given angle measures:

67° + (2x + 20)° + x° = 180°

Combining like terms:

3x + 87° = 180°

Subtracting 87° from both sides:

3x = 93°

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = 31°

Now we can find the measure of ∠B:

m∠B = 2x + 20°
m∠B = 2(31°) + 20°
m∠B = 62° + 20°
m∠B = 82°

Therefore, the measure of ∠B is 82°.
