SOLUTION

The principle behind the Exterior Angle Theorem is that:

the sum of two interior angles is equal to one exterior angle.

In this question, we have that :

X + ( X - 48 ) = X + 50

Collecting like terms, we have that:

2 X - 48 = X + 50

2X - X = 50 + 48

X = 98 Degrees.

CONCLUSION: The value of X = 98 Degrees.
