The angles of a polygon are x, 2x, 2x, (x + \(30^o\)), (x + \(20^o\)) and (x - \(10^o\)). Find the value of x

A
\(45^o\)
B
A. \(95^o\)
C
B. \(84^o\)
D
C. \(85^o\)
correct option: c

x +  2x + 2x + (x + \(30^o\)) + (x + \(20^o\)) + (x - \(10^o\)) = (2n - 4) x \(90^o\)

8x + 50 \(^o\) - 10\(^o\) = (2 x 6 -4) x 90\(^o\)

8x + 40\(^o\) = 8 x 90\(^o\) = 720\(^o\)

8x = 720\(^o\) - 40\(^o\) = 680\(^o\)

x = \(\frac{680^o}{8}\)

= 85\(^o\)
