Answer:

x=17

Explanation:

The exterior angle theorem states that one exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angles. Knowing this, we can set up the following equation:

(8x-11)=(5x)+(2x+6)

Open up the parentheses

8x-11=5x+2x+6

8x-11=7x+6

Add 11 to both sides

8x-11+11=7x+6+11

8x=7x+17

Subtract both sides by 7x

8x-7x=7x+17-7x

x=17

I hope this helps!
