Answer:

From the above attachment we can conclude that,


(2x - 10)° + (4x + 16)° = 180° \\ 2x - 10 + 4x + 16 = 180 \\ 2x + 4x - 10 + 16 = 180 \\ 6x + 6 = 180 \\ 6x = 180 - 6 \\ 6x = 174 \\x = (174)/(6) \\ \boxed{x = 29}

Therefore, the value of x is 29

  • x = 29 is the right answer.

The answer is 29

when we see angles like that we will use a property of a parallelogram

which means

2x-10 angle plus 4x+16 angle equal to 180 degrees

let's find out

(2x-10)+(4x+16)=180

6x+6=180

6x=174

x=29

Have a great day
