Answer:

m∠3 = 115 degrees

Explanation:

angle 6 and angle 8 are on a straight line

we know that sum of angles on straight line is 180

therefore

m∠8 = x+5

m∠6 + m∠8 = 180

2x - 5 + x+5 = 180

=> 3x = 180

=> x = 180/3 = 60

Thus,

m∠6 = 2x-5 = 2*60 - 5 = 115

we know that for two parallel lines cut by a transversal

alternate opposite angles are equal

m∠6 and m∠3 are alternate opposite angles

thus

m∠6 = m∠3 = 115 (answer)
