Corresponding Angles

Angles formed when a transversal line cuts across two straight lines are known as corresponding angles

In the figure, angles with the variables are corresponding, i.e., they have the same measure, thus:

x + 14 = 5x - 74

Now solve the equation.

Subtract 5x

-4x + 14 = - 74

Subtracting 14

-4x = - 74 - 14

-4x = -88

Dividing by -4

x = -88/(-4)-88/(-88/(

x = 22
