Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 11

Discussion:

Line KHF has 180 degrees so

(11x + 4) + angle GHF = 180 =>

angle GHF = 180 - (11x + 4) =>

angle GHF = 176 - 11x (*)


Triangle GHF has 180 degrees =>

60 + (6x-1) + angle GHF = 180

Substituting the value of angle GHF from (*) above gives

60 + (6x -1) + (176 -11x) = 180 =>

(60 + 176 -1) + (6x - 11x) = 180 =>

(235) + ( -5x ) = 180 => subtract 235 from both sides

-5x = 180 - 235 =>

-5x = -55 => divide both sides by 5

x = 55/5 = 11


Thank you,

MrB
