Consider the given diagram.
We want to find each measure on the diagram. Let's do it one at time!
First, we will use the information given to set up and solve an equation for x. Notice that on the diagram we are given the measure of an exterior angle of triangle ABC. We are also given expressions for two remote interior angles at A and B. Then, we can use the Exterior Angle Theorem.
