Answer:
30degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Exterior angle m<CDE = 7x – 19 degrees
interior angles are
m<BCD = 2x – 1
m<DBC = x+10
Since the sum of the interior angles is equal to the exterior, hence;
2x – 1 + x+10 = 7x – 19
3x + 9 = 7x – 19
3x – 7x = -19 – 9
-4x = -28
x = 28/4
x = 7
Get m<CDE
m<CDE = 7x – 19
m<CDE = 7(7) – 19
m<CDE = 49 – 19
m<CDE = 30degrees
