<u>Angles and Lines</u>
The figure attached below has been completed with the angle y to support the calculations to come.
The sum of the interior angles of a rectangle is 180°. Applying on triangle PQR:
30 + 4x + 2 + y = 180
Simplifying:
32 + 4x + y = 180
Solving for y:
y = 180 - 32 - 4x
y = 148 - 4x
Angles y and 8 + 6x are a linear pair, i.e. their sum is 180°, thus:
y + 8 + 6x = 180
Substituting y from the equation above:
148 - 4x + 8 + 6x = 180
Simplifying:
156 + 2x = 180
Dividing by 2:
78 + x = 90
Subtracting 78:
x = 90 - 78
x = 12
