Answer:

x=29 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the straight line is 180 degrees because definition of a straight. So we take 4 and 2 and subtract them off of 180. so 180-4-2=174. Now, we do 174/6 because you want to figure out how much times 6 can go into 174 because there are 6 x's (if that makes sense). So we get the answer 29 so x=29 degrees.

Basically, you want to combine like terms. So we combined the non-variable numbers and we subtract it off of 180. Then we take the variables and combine them. So in this case, it would be x+5x=6x. Then we need to figure out what x is so we just divide by 6 on both sides. So 6x=174 so x=29.

I hope this made sense.
