Each exterior angle measuring 2x forms a linear pair with an interior angle measuring an unknown measure. Angles in a linear pair are supplementary.
Since both interior angles are supplementary to congruent angles, they are congruent.
Let z be the measure of each upper interior angle.

2x + z = 180

z = 180 - 2x

Each upper interior angle measures 180 - 2x.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180.

180 - 2x + 180 - 2x + x = 180

-3x + 360 = 180

-3x = -180

x = 60

One interior angle measures x, so it measures 60 deg.
The other two interior angles measure 180 - 2x = 180 - 2(60) = 180 - 120 = 60

Answer: all interior angle measure 60 deg.
The exterior angles shown measure 120 deg each.

Hi!

The measure of angle x is 60 degrees so the measure of angles 2x is 120 degrees.
