Answer:

x = 37°

Explanation:

You want the value of x in the quadrilateral figure with angles marked.

Angle sum

The sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°. The reflex interior angle at B is the difference between 360° and the angle shown as 5x. Using these relations, we can write the equation ...

79° +32° +(360° -5x) +(2x) = 360°

111° = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 3x-360°

37° = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

The value of x is 37°.

Additional comment

Using this value of x, we find 5x=185°, so the "reflex" interior angle at B is not actually a reflex angle. The polygon is actually convex, and is not drawn to scale.
