Answer: The required value of x is 9.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following :


m\angle HGF=16x+4,~~~m\angle EGF=110^\circ~~~\textup{and}~~~m\angle HGE=3x+11.

We are to find the value of x.

From the figure, we note that


m\angle HGF=m\angle EGF+m\angle HGE\\\\\Rightarrow 16x+4=110+(3x+11)\\\\\Rightarrow 16x+4=3x+121\\\\\Rightarrow 16x-3x=121-4\\\\\Rightarrow 13x=117\\\\\Rightarrow x=(117)/(13)\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.

Thus, the required value of x is 9.
