Answer:

142

Explanation:

angle <3 is supplementary to 5x + 3

5x + 3 + 21x - 5 = 180 (because two angles are supplementary as well)

26x - 2 = 180 add 2 to both sides

26x = 182 divide both sides by 26

x = 7

<3 + 5x + 3 = 180 replace x with 7 and rewrite equation

<3 + 38 = 180 subtract 38 from both sides

<3 = 142
