Answer:

114°

Explanation:

The exterior angle is the sum of the remote interior angles.

__

setup

(11x +15)° = 60° +6x°

solution

5x = 45 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 15+6x

x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

The measure of exterior angle KMN is ...

m∠KMN = (11(9) +15)° = 114°

_____

Additional comment

Both the sum of interior angles and the sum of angles of a linear pair are 180°. If M represents the interior angle at vertex M, then we have ...

60° +6x° +M = 180°

(11x +15)° +M = 180°

Equating these expressions for 180° and subtracting M gives the relation we used above:

(11x +15)° +M = 60° +6x° +M . . . . . equate the two expressions for 180°

(11x +15)° = 60° +6x° . . . . . . . . . . . subtract M

This is also described by "supplements to the same angle are equal."
