There 2 angles are corresponding angles, in which the angle measurements would have the same degree.

Set the two angles equal to each other, and solve for x.

7x - 1 = 8x - 14

Isolate the x. Subtract 8x from both sides, and add 1 to both sides

7x (-8x) - 1 (+1) = -14 (+1)

7x - 8x = -14 + 1

-x = -13

Isolate the x. Divide -1 from both sides

(-x)/-1 = (-13)/-1

x = -13/-1

x = 13

13 is your answer for x.
