Answer:

x = 17

Explanation:

Theorem:

If two lines are cut by a transversal such that same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

For the lines to be parallel, the sum of 6x + 8 and 4x + 2 must equal 180.

6x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 180

10x + 10 = 180

10x = 170

x = 17

Answer:

x = 17

Explanation:

The angles are same side interior angles and they will add to 180 when the lines are parallel

6x+8 + 4x+2 = 180

10x+10 = 180

Subtract 10 from each side

10x+10-10 =180-10

10x = 170

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 170/10

x = 17
