How many sides are there?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
11 sides
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
recount please
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
there are 10 sides, not 11.

10?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yes, 10 sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
The assumption is that this is a regular polygon, because otherwise there is no way to figure out the value of x.
You need to find the inner angle (each of the angles inside the shape is same). This [inner] angle of the shape is supplementary with x.
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
The formula for finding an inner angle of a regular polygon with \(n\) sides is:
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{(n-2)\times 180}{n} }\)

(( in your case, there are 10 sides, so \(n\) is 10 ))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do we need to simplify ?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yes, you need to plug in 10 for \(n\) into the formula \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{(n-2)\times 180}{n} }\)
this will get you the interior angle of the shape

when you find the interior angle say what you got

ok

18n-36?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{(\color{red}{\rm n}-2)\times 180}{\color{red}{\rm n}} }\) (in your case)\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle ~\Longrightarrow~~~~\frac{(\color{red}{\rm 10}-2)\times 180}{\color{red}{\rm 10}} }\)

144?
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats the last answer?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
you found the interior angle (which is supplementary with \(x\)), now you need to find the x

What do you know about supplementary angles? (if you don't know what I want you to say, it is ok)
