Answer:

x = 19

Explanation:

Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem

When a transversal line intersects two parallel lines, the resulting alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Therefore:

⇒ 8x + 11 = 5x + 68

⇒ 8x + 11 - 5x = 5x + 68 - 5x

⇒ 3x + 11 = 68

⇒ 3x + 11 - 11 = 68 - 11

⇒ 3x = 57

⇒ 3x ÷ 3 = 57 ÷ 3

x = 19
