Answer:

C) 36°

Explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a triangle add to 360 degrees

The exterior angle with x is (180-x) because it makes a straight line

72+144 +(180-x) = 260

Combine like terms

396-x = 360

Subtract 396 from each side

396 -396 -x = 260-296

-x = -36

Multiply by -1

x=36
