Answer:

Equation: 540=(4x)+(3x+3)+100+103+(5x-2)

x=28

Explanation:

540° in a 5 sided polygon

so knowing that

540=(4x)+(3x+3)+100+103+(5x-2)

Combine Like Terms

540=(4x+3x+5x)+(3+100+103+−2)

540=12x+204

flip equation

12x+204=540

subtract 204 from both sides

12x=336

divide both sides by 12

x=28

The sum of the interior angels is 180(n-2). In this case 180(5-2)= 540. So the equation is 540=100+103+4x+(3x+3)+(5x-2). Then solve for x. X=28
