Answer:

x = 7 (C)

Explanation:

So first we need to be able to know the value of 14x + 18. Which is 116 degrees. This is because it is corresponding to the angle labelled 116 degrees and corresponding angles are equal so:

14x + 18 = 116

14x + 18 - 18 = 116 - 18 Here you collect like terms then the equation will look like this:

14x = 116 - 18 116 - 18 = 98

14x = 98 Divide both sides by 14

14x / 14 = 98 / 14

x = 7 So your answer is 7.
