The value of x from the image is 20.

What is the value of x?

m∠4 = 74°

m∠5 = (5x + 6)°

Co-interior angles are supplementary, that is, they are equal to 180°

So,

m∠4 + m∠5 = 180°

74 + 5x + 6 = 180

80 + 5x = 180

Subtract 80 from both sides

5x = 180 - 80

5x = 100

Divide both sides by 5

x = 100/5

x = 20

Hence,

(5x + 6)°

= 5(20) + 6

= 100 + 6

= 106°
