The value of the x for the parallel line A and line B is 7.

How to calculate the value of x?

The value of the x for the parallel line A and line B is calculated by applying the following principle for parallel lines as shown below;

angle 6x + 14 at A is alternate to B

Also this angle (6x + 14) is also a vertically opposite angle to angle B.

The equation for evaluating x becomes;

6x + 14 = 56 (vertically opposite angles are equal)

Simplify the equation by collecting similar terms as follows;

6x = 56 - 14

6x = 42

x = 42 / 6

x = 7

Thus, the value of x is 7.
