You need this key result: in any polygon, the sum of the interior angles is


(n-2)* 180

where
n is the number of sides of the polygon.

Your polygon has seven sides, and the measures of all angles are given. So, we can write


2x+4x+4x+4x+4x+2x+10x = (7-2)* 180

Again, we've simply written that the sum of all interior angles is the number of sides, minus two, times 180.

We can simplify both sides: we sum like terms on the left hand side, and we easily compute the right hand side:


30x = 5* 180 = 900

and we can solve this equation for
x by dividing both sides by 30:


x = \cfrac{900}{30} = 30

Finally, the required angles is
2x = 2* 30 = 60
