Solution

The correct option is A 28
Given: The measures of the interior angles at vertex A,B, and C are
(5x60),(2x+40), and (3x80), respectively.
As per the angle sum property, the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is 180.
So,

(5x60)+(2x+40)+(3x80)=180 5x60+2x+40+3x80=180 (Opening the brackets)
(5x+2x+3x)+(60+4080)=180 (Grouping the like terms together)
10x100=180
10x100+100=180+100 (Adding 100 on both sides of the equation)
10x=280
x=28

Option B is correct.
