Answer: In any triangle, the sum of the three angles is always 180 degrees. This is known as the triangle angle sum theorem.

So in triangle efg, we can use this theorem to find angle g in terms of x:

angle e + angle f + angle g = 180

5x+6 + 4x-6 + 5x-2 = 180

14x = 180 + 8

14x = 188

angle g = 5x-2 = 5(188/14) - 2 = 5(13.4285714) - 2 = 67.1428571 degrees

So angle g = 67.1428571 degrees

It's important to note that the values of x are the unknowns.
