x = 105°

Here is why:

The alternate exterior angle theorem states that alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Below I have attached a photo that will help you, the highlighted part of the image is the interior, while the parts that are not highlighted are the exterior. Inside of the two parallel lines will always be the interior.

They are alternate because they are alternating, or diagonal, across the middle line, which is the transversal.
