Answer: x=24

Explanation:

The four angles form a linear pair and a linear pair is basically a line which means it forms 180°.

(x-5)+(3x-1)+(2x-6)+(2x)=180

Take off parentheses

x-5+3x-1+2x-6+2x=180

Move like terms together

x+3x+2x+2x-5-1-6=180

Combine like terms

8x-12=180

Add 12 on both sides

8x-12+12=180+12

8x=192

Divide 8 on both sides

8/8 x=192/8

x=24

Hope this helps!! :)
