Answer:

x = 21

Explanation:

Remember that the interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180°. Using this information, you can set up an equation to solve for x:

40 + x + (5x + 14) = 180

Add similar elements and combine like terms

6x + 54 = 180

Subtract 54 from both sides

6x = 180 - 54 = 126

Divide each side by 6

x = 126/6 = 21
