Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

∠ NOP is an exterior angle of the triangle , then

∠ NOP = ∠ OMN + ∠ MNO ( substitute values )

6x - 5 = x + 11 + 2x + 11 ( collect like terms on right side )

6x - 5 = 3x + 22 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

3x - 5 = 22 ( add 5 to both sides )

3x = 27 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 9
