m∠3 = 115°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since measure of angle 6 = (2x - 5)°

And measure of angle 8 = (x + 5)°

Since ∠6 and ∠8 are the supplementary angles,

m∠6 + m∠8 = 180°

(2x - 5)° + (x + 5)° = 180°

3x = 180°

x = 60°

Therefore, m∠6 = (2x - 5) = (120 - 5) = 115°

and m∠8 = (x + 5) = 65°

Since angle 6 and angle 3 are interior alternate angles,

Therefore, m∠6 = m∠3 = 115° will be the answer.
