|dw:1470235752068:dw| You have 69 + 31 = 100. This means the 3rd angle should be 80 degrees since a flat horizontal line has an angle of 180. 69 + 31 + 80 = 180.

x = 21 is correct.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

The Exterior Angle Theorem proves that |dw:1470237069704:dw| The triangle that you have provides that you have two sides of 2x + 27 and 2x - 11. Those two sides, according to the exterior angle theorem, will equal to 100. Therefore, you would have \(2x + 27 + 2x - 11 = 180\). When you combine the like terms you get \(4x + 16 = 100\). Finally, when you isolate x you should get that \(x = 21\). Therefore, you are \(\color{green}{\text{correct}}\)! \(\checkmark\)
