Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of x, we use the mid-segment theorem of trapezoid

The theorem is that the mid-segment is half the sum of the other two segments

We have this as

;

5x - 20 = 1/2(2x + 6 + 4x + 2)

2(5x-20) = 6x + 8

5x -20 = 3x + 4

5x -3x = 4 + 20

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12
