the 2 equations given are vertical angles which mean they would equal the same.

Set the two equations to equal each other to solve for x:

6(x-2) = 3x+30

Simplify the left side:

6x-12 = 3x+30

Add 12 to eac side:

6x = 3x+42

Subtract 3x from each side"

3x = 42

Divide both sides by 3:

X = 42/3

X = 14


Now you know X, replace x with 14 in the equation for DHG:

DHG = 6(x-2)

6(14-2)

Simplify:

6(12)

Multiply:

72

Angle DHG is 72 degrees.
