Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

10x-10 = 60 +4x+2

Combine like terms

10x-10 = 62+4x

Subtract 4x from each side

10x-4x -10 = 62 +4x-4x

6x -10 = 62

Add 10 to each side

6x-10+10 = 62+10

6x= 72

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 72/6

x = 12
