Answer:

x=20

Explanation:

ok so that is a pentagon and if you didnt know all of the angles in a pentagon add up to equal 540

so we setup an equation which would be

7x+4x+5+4x+10+5x-5+6x+10=540 and now we just solve for x

step 1 combine like terms

7x+4x=11x

11x+4x=15x

15x+5x=20x

20x+6x=26x

5+10=15

15-5=10

10+10=20

now we have

20+26x=540

step 2 subtract each side by 20

20-20 cancels out

540-20=520

now we have 26x=540

the final step is to divide each side by 26

26/26 cancels out

540/26=20

x=20

hope this helps :D
