To solve for \(x\), we can use the properties of alternate interior angles and the relationship between angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines.
From the diagram described:
1. Let's denote the angle measure at the top parallel line (which is given as \(x^\circ\)) where the transversal intersects the top line.
2. The angle at the bottom parallel line (which is given as \(76^\circ\)) is on the opposite side of the transversal.
Since these are alternate interior angles created by the transversal intersecting the parallel lines, they are equal. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
\[
x = 76^\circ
\]
As a result, we find:
\[
x = 76
\]
Thus, the value of \(x\) is
\[
\boxed{76^\circ}
\]
