Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

Assuming you require the value of x

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

7x - 15 is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus

7x - 15 = x + 28 + 4x - 3 , that is

7x - 15 = 5x + 25 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )

2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 20
