Knowing that an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the two interior angles that are away from the angle it is touching,

we get our equation:

6x+8=30+4x+2

Simplifying,

2x=24

x=12

So, we get the variable x is 12.

It's not over yet, since we were asked to calculate

6x+8

Substituting, we get

6(12)+8=

72+8=

HRQ is 80 Degrees
