Answer:

x = 97.5 degrees

Explanation:

First, we need to know what the total sum of interior angles. We use the formula (n-2) * 180, n being the number of sides.

Since this is a 6-sided polygon, the sum is (6-2) * 180, or 720 degrees.
We have the total sum of interior angles, so now we have all the information we need.
720 degrees = (2x-50) + (x+40) + 80 + (x+20) + 90(right angle symbol) + 150
720 = 4x + 330 (subtract 330 from both sides)

390 = 4x (divide by 4)
x = 97.5 degrees
