x = 152 degrees.

Corresponding angles are equal.

x = 152 degrees.

Make you know what corresponding angles are and when they can be used. Make sure you also know what parallel lines are (2 or more lines whose distance is a constant). Make sure you also know what a transversal is (a line that crosses the parallel lines).
