I don't under stand the question

"Determine the equivalent Thevenin voltage source external to the load resistor"

here's a diagram of the circuit. All I need to know is where on the circuit I'm suppose to calculate this, then I can take it from there. Do I take out the load resistor from the circuit and find the voltage?

Yup that's what it looks like to me. Just remove Rload and work from there.
 
70 ohms and 30 volts sound right?
 
looks good to me
