To find the value of \( x \), we can use the properties of angles formed when a transversal intersects two parallel lines.
When the transversal crosses the parallel lines, it creates various pairs of angles. In this case:
1. The angle formed at the top parallel line (which is \( x \) degrees) and the angle formed at the bottom parallel line (which is \( 93 \) degrees) are alternate interior angles.
Since alternate interior angles are equal when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, we can set up the equation:
\[
x = 93
\]
Thus, the angle measure \( x \) is:
\[
x = 93^\circ
\]
