Final answer:

To solve for x when given the measures of angles DFG and EFG in degrees, set up an equation assuming the angles form a linear pair, solve for x, and find that x equals 37 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x when m∠dfg=(2x+6)° and m∠efg=(3x-11)°, we assume that angles DFG and EFG form a linear pair which means they add up to 180°. The equation would therefore be:

  • (2x + 6)° + (3x - 11)° = 180°

Simplifying this equation:

  1. Combine like terms: 2x + 3x + 6 - 11 = 180
  2. 5x - 5 = 180
  3. Add 5 to both sides: 5x = 185
  4. Divide by 5: x = 37

Thus, the value of x is 37°.
