Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

4

Discussion:

As vertical angles are equal, Angle 3 = Angle 2, so

Angle 3 = 3x + 2 (A)

Angles 3 and 7 are corresponding angles and hence equal. So

Angle 3 = Angle 7 => use (A) above and Angle 7 = x + 10

3x + 2 = x + 10 => subtract x from both sides

3x -x + 2 = x - x + 10 =>

2x + 2 = 10 => subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 10 -2 = 8

x = 8/2 = 4


which is the first choice



Thank you,

MrB
