Concepts Used:

  • Exterior Angle Property

Finding x:_____________________________________________

From the Exterior angle property, we know that the measure of an exterior angle is the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles

So, using the property

(3x-10) = (25) + (x + 15)

3x - 10 = 25 + x + 15

3x - 10 = 40 + x

3x-x - 10 = 40 [subtracting x from both sides]

2x - 10 = 40

2x = 50 [adding 10 on both sides]

x = 25 [dividing both sides by 2]

Hence, the value of x is 25
