Answer: 114°

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the "Exterior Angle theorem".

The exterior angle theorem states that the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle.

If you are still confused, then refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Given

24 + (2x + 18) = 3x + 6

Put like terms together

24 + 18 + 2x = 3x + 6

Combine like terms

42 + 2x = 3x + 6

Subtract 6 on both sides

42 + 2x - 6 = 3x + 6 - 6

36 + 2x = 3x

Subtract 2x on both sides

36 + 2x - 2x = 3x - 2x

x = 36

Exterior angle = 3x + 6 = 3(36) + 6 = 114°

Hope this helps!! :)
