Answer:

x = 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon has 6 sides, meaning it's a hexagon. In the picture you can see the following steps under #1:

(6-2) x 180° = 4 x 180 = 720°

720 is the total amount that all the angles should add up to, including the missing number x.

To solve for x add all of the angles up:

120 + 156 + 145 + (x + 9) + x + 90 = 720

520 + 2x = 720 (subtract 520 from both sides)

-520

2x = 200 (divide 200 by 2 to have x on its own)

x = 100°

To make sure it's correct, plug in the value (100°) for x in the original equation to check the answer:

120 + 156 + 145 + 100 + 9 + 100 + 90 = 720

720 = 720 Correct
