Adjacent (same side) angles on a trapezoid need to add up to 180 degrees, because the top and base are parallel (making those angles same side interior angles between parallel lines). So: (3x + 8) + (3x - 2) = 180

now that you have it set up, you just need to simplify that equation and solve for x.
