Answer:

108 degrees

Explanation:

By the Exterior Angle Theorem:

(2x + 1) + 63 = 5x -2

2x + 64 = 5x - 2

66 = 3x

22 = x

Now, we can plug the value of x back into the expression that represents the exterior angle to find the measure of the exterior angle:

5(22) - 2

110 - 2

108

The answer is 108 degrees. (I'm sorry your question was answered so late; I hope you got the right answer when you solved it!)
