The value of x in the diagram is 14

Angles on parallel lines exhibit specific relationships when intersected by a transversal.

Corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles and alternate exterior angles are equal, and consecutive interior angles are supplementary, contributing to geometric analyses involving parallel lines.

11x - 15 = 9x + 13

11x - 9x = 13 + 15

2x = 28

divide both sides by 2

x = 28/2

x = 14

Therefore the value of x is 14
