Answer:

x = 24

Explanation:

This is going to be a different type of equation. These are supplementary angles, meaning that the sum of the two angles is = to 180. All you have to do is to combine the two equations and set it = to 180.

Set up you equation like this:

4x - 2 + 3x + 14 = 180

Combine like terms:

4x + 3x = 180 + 2 - 14

7x = 168

x = 24

Answer:

x=24

Explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180 degrees

4x-2 + 3x+14= 180

Combine like terms

7x +12 =180

Subtract 12 from each side

7x+12-12 = 180-12

7x = 168

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = 168/7

x =24
