• Solve for x.

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

Okay, so from the given figure we can see that, < FAE & < FAB forms a linear pair. In a linear pair, the 2 angles will together sum up to 180°. So,

• < FAE = 4x°
• < FAB = 2x°

From the explanation, we can understand that,

Sum of the linear pair = 180°

< FAE + < FAB = 180°

4x° + 2x° = 180°

6x° = 180°

x° = 180 ÷ 6

x = 30°.

• The value of x will be 30° (3rd option).
