**Solving for x in Geometric Figures**

In this exercise, you will solve for the variable \( x \) in different geometric figures and order the figures according to their values of \( x \), from least to greatest.

---

### Figure 1: Quadrilateral \(ABCD\)

This is a rectangle with the following angles:

- \( \angle A = 90^\circ \)
- \( \angle B = 90^\circ \)
- \( \angle C = (2x + 8)^\circ \)
- \( \angle D = (2x + 8)^\circ \)

**Equations:**

Since the sum of interior angles in a rectangle is always \(360^\circ\), we have:

\[ 90^\circ + 90^\circ + (2x + 8)^\circ + (2x + 8)^\circ = 360^\circ \]

Simplifying the equation:

\[ 180 + 4x + 16 = 360 \]
\[ 4x + 196 = 360 \]
\[ 4x = 244 \]
\[ x = 61 \]

### Figure 2: Triangle \(XYZ\)

This is a triangle with the following angles:

- \( \angle X = 100^\circ \)
- \( \angle Z = (5x)^\circ \)
- \( \angle Y = (5x)^\circ \)

**Equations:**

Since the sum of interior angles in a triangle is always \(180^\circ\), we have:

\[ 100^\circ + (5x) + (5x) = 180^\circ \]

Simplifying the equation:

\[ 100 + 10x = 180 \]
\[ 10x = 80 \]
\[ x = 8 \]

### Figure 3: Hexagon \(ABCDEF\)

This is a hexagon with the following angles:

- \( \angle A = 60^\circ \)
- \( \angle B = (6x)^\circ \)
- \( \angle C = 150^\circ \)
- \( \angle D = 60^\circ \)
- \( \angle E = (5x + 25)^\circ \)
- \( \angle F = 150^\circ \)

**Equations:**

Since the sum of interior angles in a hexagon is always \((6-2
