Answer

$110^{\circ},50^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Sum of angle measures is $180^{\circ}$. Write the equation. $\Rightarrow 110^{\circ}+5x^{\circ}+2x^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$ Combine like terms. $\Rightarrow 110^{\circ}+7x^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$ Subtract $110^{\circ}$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 110^{\circ}+7x^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=180^{\circ}-110^{\circ}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 7x^{\circ}=70^{\circ}$ Divide each side by $7$. $\Rightarrow \frac{7x^{\circ}}{7}=\frac{70^{\circ}}{7}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x^{\circ}=10^{\circ}$ Multiply each side by $5$. $\Rightarrow 5x^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ Multiply each side by $2$. $\Rightarrow 2x^{\circ}=20^{\circ}$ Hence, the angle measures of the polygon are $110^{\circ},50^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$
