Answer:

x = 19

Explanation:

The two angles form a right angle

A right angle has a measure of 90 degrees

Thus, x + 14 + 3x = 90

^This is the equation we will use to solve for x

x + 14 + 3x = 90

step 1 combine like terms

x + 3x = 4x

we now have 4x + 14 = 90

step 2 subtract 14 from each side

90 - 14 = 76

14 - 14 cancels out

we now have 76 = 4x

step 3 divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

76 / 4 = 19

we're left with x = 19
