Answer:
x=21

Explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that, by definition, the sum of the Exterior angles of a polygon is 360 degrees.

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:


(4x-1)+3x+(5x+4)+105=360

Now, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. The steps are:

- Add the like terms:


12x+108=360

- Subtract 108 from both sides of the equation:


12x+108-108=360-108\\\\12x=252

- Divide both sides by 12:


(12x)/(12)=(252)/(12)\\\\x=21
