Final answer:

To make angles 2 and 4 parallel, x should be -35

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x that would make angles 2 and 4 parallel, we need to set the two angles equal to each other.

2x + 10 = 4x + 80

Subtract 2x from both sides:

10 = 2x + 80

Subtract 80 from both sides:

-70 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2:

x = -35

Therefore, the value of x that would make angles 2 and 4 parallel is -35.
