Answer:

x = 20 degrees, angle ABC = 98 degrees

Explanation:

The two inner angles sum up to 180 degrees. This is a general rule when you have two parallel lines and another line intersecting through both lines.

So angles ABC and DCB sum up to 180.

4x + 18 + 2x + 42 = 180

6x + 60 = 180

6x = 120

x = 20 degrees

Plugging this back in angle ABC,

4(20) + 18 = 98 degrees
