Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

  • it is given that: Line m || line n and line t is their transversal.

  • (6x + 10)° is the vertical angle of the interior angle formed by the top line (perhaps line m) and it's transversal.

  • Thus, by interior angles on the same side of the transversal, we have:

  • -> (6x + 10)° + (10x + 10)° = 180°

  • -> (16x + 20)° = 180°

  • -> 16x + 20 = 180

  • -> 16x = 180 - 20

  • -> 16x = 160

  • x = 160/16

  • x = 10
