Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Angle 1 measures (4x + 28)°, and the angle adjacent to the alternate exterior angle
with angle 1 measures (14x + 8)°. What is the value of x?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your equation is

(4x + 28) + (14x + 8) = 180.

Solve for x.


By the way, the second angle has its own name.
