As shown the figure : there are two parallel lines and a transversal

Given the angles : ( x + 14 ) and (5x - 74)

The angles are congruent because they are a corresponding angles

So,


5x-74=x+14

solve the equation to find x , combine the like terms


\begin{gathered} 5x-74=x+14 \\ \\ 5x-x=14+74 \\ \\ 4x=88 \\ \\ x=(88)/(4)=22 \end{gathered}

so, the answer is x = 22
