The video tutorial explains how to find the missing interior angles of a pentagon. It begins by introducing the formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon, which is (n-2) times 180 degrees. The tutorial then sets up an equation using given angle measures, solves for the variable x, and calculates the missing angles. The final angles are determined to be 91.5 and 103.5 degrees.

If two angles of a pentagon measure x degrees each, and two others measure x + 12 degrees each, what is the equation to find x?

2x + 2(x + 12) + 150 = 3 times 180

2x + 2(x + 12) + 150 = 5 times 180

2x + 2(x + 12) + 150 = 4 times 180

2x + 2(x + 12) + 150 = 2 times 180
