Answer: Choice 3

Explanation:

Oof, this is a tough one. But anyways

Angle 19 + Angle 20 = 180

So Angle 20 = 180 - Angle 19

As l and m are parallel, Angle 20 = Angle 6 from the z rule

So Angle 6 = 180 - Angle 19

Substitute the information given at the start into the equation

2x - 4 = 180 - (5x - 8)

180 - 5x + 8 = 2x - 4

7x = 192

x = 27.42

From what we have found earlier, Angle 20 = Angle 6 so

Angle 20 = 2x - 4 = 2 * 27.42 - 4 = 50.85 rounding it to 50.9

So the answer is 50.9 or Choice 3
