Answer:

Equation: 720=(8x-1)+110+(5x+36)+116+(7x+19)+(6x-2)

x=17

Explanation:

A 6 sided polygon is 720° degrees

so

720=(8x-1)+110+(5x+36)+116+(7x+19)+(6x-2)

Simplify

720=(8x+5x+7x+6x)+(−1+110+36+116+19+−2)

Combine like terms:

720=26x+278

flip equation:

26x+278=720

subtract 278 from both sides

26x=442

divide by 26 both sides:

x=17

Hope this helps.
