Answer:

The correct option is C

m

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite non-adjacent interior angles.

The theorem above leads us to the next equation:

5x + 5 = x + (2x+ 15)

Solving the above equation:

5x + 5 = x + 2x+ 15

5x + 5 = 3x + 15

5x - 3x = 15 - 5

2x = 10

x = 10/2 = 5

We know that m

m

= 10 + 15

= 25
