Sum if triangles should be 180 so
44+a+10+x = 180

Also the flat angle on the line should be 180 too so

2a+x=180

You got 2 equations and 2 unknowns. You can find a and x

Configure second equation:

x=180-2a

Plug in x into first equation

44 + a + 10 + 180-2a = 180

234 -a = 180

a = 54

Exterior angle is 2a so 2(54) = 108

You can easily find x and plug into equations and check your answer too
