Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Well, there's a theorem about these triangles that helps you solve questions similar to this one.

The theorem states that the sum of the two angles of a triangle is equal to the magnitude of the angle exterior to them.

That is, 33° + (10x+1)° = (17x-1)°

17x - 10x = 33 + 1 + 1

7x = 35 => x = 5

Hope it helps you, mate! :)
