Seventh angle is $x=111^o$

Sum of all the interior angles of a $n$ -sided polygon is always $(n-2)xx180^o$ .

As this is seven sided polygon, sum of its interior angles is $(7-2)xx180^o=5xx180^o=900^o$

Sum of six of the angles is $120^o +158^o +126^o +125^o +121^o +139^o =789^o$

Hence the seventh angle is $x=900^o-789^o=111^o$

$111^circ$

We use the formula

The sum of the angles in any closed polygon

$color(blue)((n-2)*180)$

Where, $color(red)(n$ is the number of sides of the polygon

There are $7$ sides in this polygon

$:.$ $color(orange)("Sum of the angles"=(7-2)*180=900^circ$

So, we can say that

$rarr158^circ+120^circ+139^circ+121^circ+125^circ+126^circ+x=900^circ$

$rarr789^circ+x=900^circ$

$rarrx=900^circ-789^circ$

$rArrcolor(green)(x=111^circ$
