Answer:

x=68

Explanation:

Five sides means the shape is equal to 540 degrees. So set up an equation that is equal to 540 degrees.

540=(2x-2)+(x-10)+(x+8)+(3x)+(x)

Take off the parentheses because there's nothing to simplify with them.

540=2x-2+x-10+x+8+3x+x

Then you simplify and get.

540 =8x-4

Then get x alone.

8x=544

Divide each side by 8 to get x alone

x=68

*I would recommend you to check my work, but I think this is it.
