Since angles 1 and 3 are vertical angles, they are equal. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
\[
2x + 26 = 14
\]
To solve for \(x\), first subtract 26 from both sides:
\[
2x = 14 - 26
\]
\[
2x = -12
\]
Next, divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{-12}{2}
\]
\[
x = -6
\]
Thus, the value of \(x\) is \(-6\).
\[
2x + 26 = 14
\]
To solve for \(x\), first subtract 26 from both sides:
\[
2x = 14 - 26
\]
\[
2x = -12
\]
Next, divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = \frac{-12}{2}
\]
\[
x = -6
\]
Thus, the value of \(x\) is \(-6\).
