Find the measure of the exterior angle.

The equation on the exterior of the triangle is 3x-22. One side inside the triangle reads 80 degrees and the other one reads x.
--------------------------------
That information is confusing.
Is the triangle a right triangle; is it a general triangle; is it
any special triangle?
---
What is the 3x-22 describiing?
A "side" cannot be 80 degrees.
Another side may be "x" but how
does it relate to the angle.
----------
Withour a concise describtion of the triangle
and the labeled parts the problem cannot be
solved.
