Question

Find the value of x.

The diagram depicts a set of intersecting lines, forming angles labeled with their respective measures. 

- Angle labeled as \(62^\circ\) is located at the top left of the intersection.
- Angle \(x^\circ\) is positioned adjacent to the \(62^\circ\) angle.
- Angle labeled as \(144^\circ\) is situated at the bottom right of the intersection.

The lines form a linear pair with angles \(62^\circ\) and \(144^\circ\) on a straight line, indicating they are supplementary and their sum is \(180^\circ\). Solving for \(x^\circ\) involves recognizing that it is vertically opposite to the \(144^\circ\) angle, so \(x = 144^\circ\).
