so first, you put the two equations equaled to each other

2x - 14 = x + 2

next solve for the x

2x -x = 14 + 2

x = 16

After getting x (which is 16 in this case) plug it back into all x in the diagram
2x - 14 and x+2 to be exact

TU =2(16) - 14 OL=16 + 2
TU= 32 -14 OL = 18
TU = 18 OL = 18

hope this helps :D
