Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

Angles and Lines

The figure attached below has been completed with the angle y to support the calculations to come.

The sum of the interior angles of a rectangle is 180°. Applying on triangle PQR:

30 + 4x + 2 + y = 180

Simplifying:

32 + 4x + y = 180

Solving for y:

y = 180 - 32 - 4x

y = 148 - 4x

Angles y and 8 + 6x are a linear pair, i.e. their sum is 180°, thus:

y + 8 + 6x = 180

Substituting y from the equation above:

148 - 4x + 8 + 6x = 180

Simplifying:

156 + 2x = 180

Dividing by 2:

78 + x = 90

Subtracting 78:

x = 90 - 78

x = 12
