Apply supplementary angle theorem

  • They have sum 180°


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x+79=180


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=180-79


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=101

Answer:

x = 101 °

Here give ∠ ACD exterior angles 79 °

[Angle Addition Postulate and definition of straight angle: ]

∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180

79 + n = 180

n =180-79=101

n = 101
