alternate exterior angles are equal, so
74+x =95+2x
x= 74-95 = -21

I believe that 169 + 3x = 180 subtract 169 from both sides
3x = 11
x = 11/3

Answer:
x = 11/3

Alright, so I was wrong... now to do it the right way.
74+x = 95 + 2x subtract x from both sides.
74 = 95 + x subtract 95 from both sides
-21 = x

Right Answer:
X = -21
