First——//360/10=36. Each exterior angle is 36 degrees
3x+6=36
Subtract 6 from both sides
3x=30
X=10

Answer: 10

Explanation:

We know that a regular decagon has 10 sides.

The sum of all exterior angles of any regular polygon is
360^(\circ).

Given: Each exterior angle of a regular decagon has a measure of
(3x+6).

Then the sum of all the exterior angle will be :-


10*(3x+6)=360\\\\\Rightarrow\ 30x+60=360\\\\\Rightarrow 30x=300\\\\\Rightarrow x=(300)/(30)=10

Hence, the value of x = 10
