    the answer is 110

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a regular pentagon the angles are 112. Take that number and replace x with 112

    112-5 = 107

    112+30 = 142

    112-35 = 77

    Take those three numbers and subtract them from the sum 540 provided as a total of all five angles.

    540-107-142-77-130-75 = 9

    You have 3 missing angles.

    Nine divided by three is three.

    Add three to each of the numbers you got for the missing angles.

    107+3=110

    142+3=145

    77+3=80

    Those are your missing angles.

    I'm sure there is an shorter way of explaining it but this is how I did it and I got a 100 on the test.
