Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're given the diagram shown and we're asked to fin the value of x.

To find the value of x, notice that x + 14

and x + 13 is the same length as 15.

So, we can set up an equation to find x.

So we have x + 14 + x + 13 = 15.

Combing like terms, we get 2x + 27 = 15.

Now subtract 27 from both sides to get 2x = -12.

Now divide both sides by 2 and x = -6.

So the value of x is -6.
