The angles 75° and 11x - 2 are corresponding angles.

Since the two horizontal lines are parallel, corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore we can create the following equation and solve it for x:


\begin{gathered} 11x-2=75\\ \\ 11x=75+2\\ \\ 11x=77\\ \\ x=(77)/(11)\\ \\ x=7 \end{gathered}

So the correct option is the first one.
