Answer:

112°

Explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.

16x is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

16x = 7x - 1 + 8x + 8, that is

16x = 15x + 7 ( subtract 15x from both sides )

x = 7

Thus

16x = 16 × 7 = 112

The exterior angle is 112°
