Answer:

Explanation:

So the first thing to do is get the number of angles inside this pentagon, which is 540 degrees. One way to do this is that you know a pentagon is formed of 3 triangles and since there are 180 degrees in a triangle, 3x180=540

Then it is algebra

540=91+125+92+(3x-5)+(4x-8)

Simplify what you can and collect like terms

540=308+3x-5+4x-8

540=308+7x-13

Then move everything over to the one side so that the variable is isolated

540-308+13=7x

245=7x

242/7=x

35=x
