Answer:

x = 38°

Explanation:

sum of interior angle

=(n - 2 )180

=(8 - 2)180

=(6)180

=1080°.

the value of x

=(x + 55)° + (3x + 20)° + 4x° + (4x - 10)° + (6x - 55)° + (3x + 52)° + 3x° + (2x + 30)° = 1080°

= x + 3x + 4x + 4x + 6x + 3x + 3x + 2x + 55 + 20 - 10 - =55 + 52 + 30 = 1080.

=26x + 92 = 1080

=26x = 1080 - 92

=26x = 988

=26x/26 = 988/26

x = 38°
