For a polygon with N sides, the sum of the interior angles must be equal to:


A=(N-2)*180

Because the presented polygon has 6 sides, we calculate the total of the sum as:


A=(6-2)*180=4*180=720

Now, let's use the given values to find x:


\begin{gathered} 720=78+134+136+132+2x+x=480+3x \\ 3x=720-480=240 \\ x=(240)/(3)=80\degree \end{gathered}

From the present solution, the correct answer is D) 80°
