Answer in $kJ$.

$A$ reaction takes place in three steps with individual rate constants and activation energies. The overall rate constant is given by $k = (\frac{k_1 k_2}{k_3})^{2/3}$. The overall activation energy of the reaction in $kJ/mol$ is:
$Step$ $Rate\ Constant\ /\ Activation\ energy$
$Step\ 1$ $k_1, E_{a_1} = 180\ kJ/mol$
$Step\ 2$ $k_2, E_{a_2} = 80\ kJ/mol$
$Step\ 3$ $k_3, E_{a_3} = 50\ kJ/mol$

Rate constant varies with temperature by the equation $log_{10} K = 5 - 2000 / T$. We can conclude that $(R = 8.314 \ J \ mol^{-1} K^{-1})$
