Answer:


x=115^o

Explanation:

Angles Inside a Polygon

A polygon of n sides must have the sum of its internal angles


S=180^o(n-2)

The polygon shown in the figure has n=5 sides, so the sum of its internal angles is


S=180^o(5-2)=540^o

The construction of the internal angles of the polygon is shown in the image below. The sum of them is


50+180-x+180-x+360-x+x=540

Reducing


-2x+770=540

Solving


\displaystyle x=(770-540)/(2)


\boxed{x=115^o}
