Answer:

7

Explanation:

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

18x+9 = 5x-5 + 105

Combine like terms

18x+9 = 5x +100

Subtract 5x from each side

18x-5x +9 = 5x+100-5x

13x +9 = 100

Subtract 9 from each side

13x +9-9=100-9

13x= 91

Divide by 13

13x/13 = 91/13

x = 7
