Focus on triangle KLM. Since JKLM is a rectangle, angle KLM is right. Since the sum of the interior angles of every triangle is 180, we deduce that


\hat{K}+\hat{L}+\hat{M}=180

Now plug the values for each angle and you have


54+90+(2x+4)=180

Move 54 and 90 to the right side to get


2x+4=36 \iff 2x=32 \iff x=16

Answer:

x = 16

Explanation:

The sum of measures of these three angles of any triangle is equal to 180 °

54 + 90 + (2x + 4) = 180

144 + 2x + 4 = 180

148 + 2x = 180

2x = 180 - 148

2x = 32


x= (32)/(2) \\\\x=16
