Answer:

x=23

Explanation:

Hello There!

Remember the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the opposite interior angles of a triangle

so

137-x=2x+3x-1

now we can solve for x

step 1 combine like terms

2x+3x=5x

now we have

137-x=5x-1

step 2 add 1 to each side

-1+1 cancels out

137+1=138

138-x=5x

step 2 add x to each side

-x+x cancels out

5x+x=6x

now we have

138=6x

step 3 divide each side by 6

6x/6=x

138/6=23

we´re left with x=23
