Let B A C = x \angle BAC=x . From, B A D + A C D = 145 \angle BAD+\angle ACD=145 \color{#D61F06}\implies B A D = 145 A C D \angle BAD = 145 - \angle ACD

Consider A C D : \triangle ACD:

C A D + A C D = 180 50 = 130 \angle CAD+\angle ACD=180-50=130 \color{#D61F06}\implies C A D = 130 A C D \angle CAD = 130-\angle ACD

From the figure,

x = B A D A C D x=\angle BAD-\angle ACD

x = 145 A C D ( 130 A C D ) x=145-\angle ACD- (130-\angle ACD)

x = 145 A C D 130 + A C D x=145-\angle ACD - 130 + \angle ACD

x = 145 130 = x=145-130= 1 5 \boxed{15^\circ}
