Answer:  " x = 9 "  .
____________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________
To calculate the mean:
____________________________________
The mean = 

     {the sum of all the values in the number set} ÷ 

     {the number of values in the data set} ;
____________________________________
 To solve for "x" ;
____________________________________
Given that the "mean" is:  "8" ;
____________________________________
            8  =  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  /  5  ;
____________________________________ 
    ↔  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  /  5   =  8  ;
____________________________________
            →  { 3 + 7 + 9 + 12 + x }  = 8 * 5  ;
____________________________________
            →  { 31 + x } = 40  ;
____________________________________
            ↔   x + 31  = 40  ;
____________________________________
       Subtract "31" from EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
____________________________________
            →   x + 31 − 31  =  40 − 31  ;

                       →  x = 9  .

Answer:

x = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle on a straight line = 180°

(x + 40)° + (x - 20)° = 180°

x + 40° + x - 20° = 180°

2x + 20° = 180°

2x = 180° - 20°

2x = 160°

x = 160°/2

x = 80°

Check:

(x + 40)° + (x - 20)° = 180°

(80° + 40°) + (80° - 20°) = 180°

120° + 60° = 180°

180° = 180°
