Answer:

x = 88

Explanation:

To find the value of x, we know that the sum of a quadrilateral's exterior angles are 360. We can use this information to create an algebraic expression and solve for x.


x+73+90+109=360

Add like terms


x+272=360\\

Subtract 272 on both sides


x=88

To prove our work, we can add up all the angle measures and see if they add up to 360.


88+73+90+109=360

So, our work is correct.
