Answer:

x = 163°

Explanation:

The sum of interior angles of a pentagon is 540°. The missing value will bring the total to that. It can be found by subtracting the known values from 540°.

__

x = 540° -85° -103° -121° -68°

x = 163°

_____

Additional comment

The sum of interior angles of a simple n-gon is found from the formula ...

angle sum = 180°·(n -2)

For n = 5, this is 180°×3 = 540°.
