Answer

The value of $x$ is $126^{\circ}$, Angle measures are $126^{\circ},126^{\circ},96^{\circ},96^{\circ},96^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Sum of angle measures is $540^{\circ}$. Add all the given angle. $=(x-30)^{\circ}+(x-30)^{\circ}+(x-30)^{\circ}+x^{\circ}+x^{\circ}$ Equate both values. $\Rightarrow (x-30)^{\circ}+(x-30)^{\circ}+(x-30)^{\circ}+x^{\circ}+x^{\circ} =540^{\circ} $ Clear the parentheses. $\Rightarrow x^{\circ}-30^{\circ}+x^{\circ}-30^{\circ}+x^{\circ}-30^{\circ}+x^{\circ}+x^{\circ} =540^{\circ} $ Add like terms. $\Rightarrow 5x^{\circ}-90^{\circ}=540^{\circ} $ Add $90^{\circ}$ to each side. $\Rightarrow 5x^{\circ}-90^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=540^{\circ} +90^{\circ}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 5x^{\circ}=630^{\circ}$ Divide each side by $5$. $\Rightarrow \frac{5x^{\circ}}{5}=\frac{630^{\circ}}{5}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x^{\circ}=126^{\circ}$ Angle measures are $=(x-30)^{\circ}=(126-30)^{\circ}=96^{\circ}$ Hence, the value of $x$ is $126^{\circ}$ and angle measures are $126^{\circ},126^{\circ},96^{\circ},96^{\circ},96^{\circ}$.
