Answer:

  A.  x = 4

  B.  ∠C = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

The sum of interior angles in a pentagon is 540°. We can write an equation for the sum of angles using this fact. Clockwise from lower left, we have ...

  140° +(20x)° +100° +(16x +16)° +(160 -5x)° = 540°

  31x +416° = 540° . . . . . . collect terms

  31x = 124° . . . . . . . . . . subtract 416°

  x = 4

__

B.

The measure of angle C is found by substituting the value of x into the given expression for angle C.

  (16x +16)° = (16(4) +16)° = 80°

Angle C is 80°.

Additional comment

It can be useful to remember that the sum of interior angles of an n-gon is ...

  (180°)(n -2)

This can be derived from the fact that the sum of exterior angles is always 360°.

These relations apply to convex polygons. YMMV when there are reflex angles or when sides cross each other.
