The value of x and the angle m<N area 2 and 10 respectively.

From the given question, we have that the triangle MNO is similar to PQR, that is △MNO≅△PQR. This shows that:

m<N = m<Q

Equating both expressions

3x + 4 = 8x - 6

3x - 8x = -4 - 6

-5x = -10

x = -10/-5

x = 2

For the angle <N

m<N = 3x + 4

m<N = 3(2) + 4

m<N = 10

Hence the value of x and the angle m<N area 2 and 10 respectively.
