First you should distribute the left side 

<span>8−2(3−x)=4x+6 
8 - 6 +2x = 4x +6
2 + 2x = 4x + 6
    -4x     -4x

2 - 2x = 6
-2        -2

-2x = 4 Divide both sides by -2

x = -2 </span>

HEY THERE!!!!

The correct answer is 34°

They are supplementary angles (connect with a straight line) which means that their angles add up to 180° so:

180 = x + 156

34 = x
