I don't understand what to do. At all

the curvy lines mean that these two angles are equal, so
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
2x + 2x + 5x + 5 = 360
solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok well you know =360 degrees

2x+2x+2(5x+5)=360 right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it is 4x + (5x + 5)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
distribute the 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to the 5x and 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Why are we distributing?

because there are two corners right and you know that they are the same because both the corners have two lines you you want to know what the rhombus=360
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok. so 4x + 10x + 10. so 14x + 10?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 25? Yes that sounds right!! YES
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yay! Thanks!!!

14=350 degrees
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did you divide 350 by 14
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Good night! Thank you so much!

360 is the sum of the internal angles. We can add all angles and match the 360, to find the value of x, then is:
\[(5x +5º) + 2x + (5x +5º) + 2x = 360º\]\[(10x + 10º) + 4x = 360º\]\[14x + 10º = 360º\]\[14x = 360º-10º\]\[x = 350º/14\]\[x = 25º\]
