Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

∠MNO is the exterior angle of the triangle

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, thus

∠MNO = ∠LMN + ∠ NLM, that is

10x + 1 = 3x + 11 + 3x + 18

10x + 1 = 6x + 29 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

4x + 1 = 29 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

4x = 28 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 7

∠NLM = 3x + 11 = (3 × 7) + 11 = 21 + 11 = 32°
