Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

Diagonals of a kite cross at right angles. That gives us a relation that can be solved for x.

Setup

The measure shown is equal to the angle measure of 90°.

14x -22 = 90

Solution

We can solve this 2-step linear equation in the usual way.

14x = 112 . . . . . . step 1, add the opposite of the constant to get x alone

x = 112/14 = 8 . . . step 2, divide by the coefficient of x

The value of x is 8.
