95∘95^\circ

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Combine the terms with xx and the constant terms on the left side of the equation.

    (2x−50)∘+(x+40)∘+(x+20)∘+80∘+160∘+90∘=720∘(2x - 50)^\circ + (x + 40)^\circ + (x + 20)^\circ + 80^\circ + 160^\circ + 90^\circ = 720^\circ

    Combine xx terms: 2x+x+x=4x2x + x + x = 4x.
    Combine constant terms: −50+40+20+80+160+90-50 + 40 + 20 + 80 + 160 + 90.

    −50+40=−10-50 + 40 = -10 −10+20=10-10 + 20 = 10 10+80=9010 + 80 = 90 90+160=25090 + 160 = 250 250+90=340250 + 90 = 340

    So the equation becomes:

    4x+340∘=720∘4x + 340^\circ = 720^\circ
  2. Subtract 340∘340^\circ from both sides of the equation.

    4x=720∘−340∘4x = 720^\circ - 340^\circ 4x=380∘4x = 380^\circ
  3. Divide both sides by 4 to solve for xx.

    x=380∘4x = \frac{380^\circ}{4} x=95∘x = 95^\circ

    The value of xx is 95∘\boxed{95^\circ}.
