Answer:

  126°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the exterior angle, we need to know one of the acute angles. Those are found using the fact that they are complementary.

  (5x -6) +(3x) = 90

  8x = 96 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6, collect terms

  x = 12 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

  3x° = 3·12° = 36° . . . . . . find the "remote" acute angle

  exterior angle = 90° +36°

  exterior angle = 126°

__

The exterior angle is the supplement of the one marked (5x-6)°. It is also the sum of the two remote interior angles, 90° and 3x°. Being lazy, we figure that 90 +3·12 is easier to compute than 180 - (5·12 -6). Either way, the exterior angle is 126°.
