The measure of x is 12

Here, we want to classify the realationship between the two marked angles

From what we have, the two angles are equal

The reason for this is that they are corresponding angles; and corresponding angles are congruent (equal)

Thus, mathematically;


\begin{gathered} 5x-2\text{ = 58} \\ \\ 5x\text{ = 58+2} \\ \\ 5x\text{ = 60} \\ \\ x\text{ = }(60)/(5) \\ \\ x\text{ = 12} \end{gathered}
