Explanation:

2 things to remember and use here :

1. the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°

2. the sum of all angles around a singe point on one side of a line is also 180° (just think about it : if there is a circle with its center in that particular point like S here, then the line cuts the circle in half. and half a circle is 180°).

so now that we know all that, let's combine both principles :

the inner angle S = 180 - (12x + 4)

and the angle U is 3x +6, so

U = 3x + 6 = 180 - 70 - (180 - (12x + 4))

3x + 6 = 110 - 180 + (12x + 4) = -70 + 12x + 4 = -66 + 12x

72 = 9x

x = 8

S = 180 - (12×8 + 4) = 180 - 96 - 4 = 80°

U = 3x + 6 = 3×8 + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30°
