Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
(2x - 24)° + (3x - 18)° + (2x + 12)° + (x + 12)° + x° = 360°
9x = 360° + 18°
x = \(\frac{378}{9}\)
= 42°, if x = 42°, then add maths = \(\frac{2x - 42}{360}\) x 60
= \(\frac{2 \times 42 - 24}{360}\) x 60
= \(\frac{84 - 24}{6}\)
= 10
(2x - 24)° + (3x - 18)° + (2x + 12)° + (x + 12)° + x° = 360°
9x = 360° + 18°
x = \(\frac{378}{9}\)
= 42°, if x = 42°, then add maths = \(\frac{2x - 42}{360}\) x 60
= \(\frac{2 \times 42 - 24}{360}\) x 60
= \(\frac{84 - 24}{6}\)
= 10
