Answer:
x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angle at E is (180-2x). The interior angle at F is (180-4x). The sum of the interior angles of the triangle is 180, so we have ...
(180 -2x) +x +(180 -4x) = 180
180 = 5x . . . . . . add 5x-180 to both sides
36 = x . . . . . . . divide by 5

Additional comment
This value of x makes the exterior angles at E and F be 72° and 144°, respectively. The internal angles at E, F, G are then 108°, 36°, 36°, making the triangle isosceles with EF = EG.
