How to find the missing angles?

The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of the triangle.

In other words, if you extend any side of a triangle, the exterior angle formed is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

Thus, we can say that:

7x + 5 + 48 = 13x - 1

7x + 53 = 13x - 1

6x = 54

x = 9
