Answer:

x = 40

Explanation:

Sum of interior angle of an n-polygon = (n - 2)*180

The polygon given is pentagon with 5 sides.

Sum of the polygon = (5 - 2)*180 = 540°

Therefore, sum of all its interior angles would be:

5x + 150 + (3x - 30) + 70 + (2x - 50) = 540°

Solve for x

5x + 150 + 3x - 30 + 70 + 2x - 50 = 540

Collect like terms

5x + 3x + 2x + 150 - 30 + 70 - 59 = 540

10x + 140 = 540

10x = 540 - 140 (Subtraction property of equality)

10x = 400

x = 400/10 (division property of equality)

x = 40
