Answer

$\Delta H = +90kJ$

Work Step by Step

The Hess's law states that, if a reaction have two or more steps, like the one in the problem: $A --> B$ $ :\Delta H = + 30kJ$ $B --> C $ $ : \Delta H = +60kJ$ The entropy can be calculated by the sum of the two steps involved. $\Delta H : A --> C = (+30kJ) + (+60kJ) = +90kJ$
