Answer:

B. 30 degrees

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram:

Interior angles are m<3 and m<2

Exterior angle = <4

using the rule that says that the sum of interior angles is equal to the exterior angle we have:

m<2+m<3 = m<4

(4/3)x°+20 = 2x°

multiply through by 3:

4x° + 60 = 6x°

4x°-6x° = -60

-2x° = -60

x°= -60/-2

x° = 30°

Hence the value of x is 30 degrees
