Answer:

x = 9

Explanation:

Exterior angle property of triangle: Exterior angle equals sum of opposite interior angles.

9x + 14 = 5x + 5 + 45

9x + 14 = 5x + 50

Subtract 14 from both sides

9x = 5x + 50 - 14

9x = 5x + 36

Subtract 5x from both sides

9x- 5x = 36

4x = 36

Divide both sides by 4

x = 36/4

x =9
