Answer:

therefore, x is 71 degrees

Explanation:

we know that the exterior angle is 142 degrees.

we also know that we have to find x, which is labeled two times as an interior triangle (in the same triangle), so they must be the same degree.

there are different ways to solve this but the easiest way is this:

exterior angle = opposite interior angle 1 + opposite interior angle 2

142 degrees = x + x

142 degrees = 2x

142/2 = x

x = 71

therefore, x is 71 degrees
