Answer:

The answer to your question is: x = 12

Explanation:

Data

∠H = ∠DHE

∠H = 134 °

If it is a rectangle, then ∠HDG = ∠DGH

DHG + GHF = 180

DHG = 180 - 134

DHG = 46°

The sum of the internal angles in a triangle equals 180°

DHG + HDG + DGH = 180°

46 + 2(5x + 7) = 180

2(5x + 7) = 180 - 46

2(5x + 7) = 134

5x + 7 = 134/2

5x + 7 = 67

5x = 67 - 7

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12
