Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

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

11x + 2 is an exterior angle of the triangle, then

11x + 2 = 5x + 10 + 58

11x + 2 = 5x + 68 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

6x + 2 = 68 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

6x = 66 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 11
