Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

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

∠QRT is an exterior angle of the triangle

∠RTS and ∠RST are the 2 opposite interior angles, thus

45x = 25x + 57 + x

45x = 26x + 57 ( subtract 26x from both sides )

19x = 57 ( divide both sides by 19 )

x = 3
