Question
Your friend incorrectly says that line m is parallel to line n when the measure of angle X is 72°. For which measure of angle X is line m parallel to line​ n? What was your​ friend's likely​ mistake?
**2.2.RE-2**

**Error Analysis**  
Your friend incorrectly says that line \(m\) is parallel to line \(n\) when the measure of angle \(X\) is \(73^\circ\). For which measure of angle \(X\) is line \(m\) parallel to line \(n\)? What was your friend's likely mistake?

**Diagram Explanation:**  
The diagram shows two intersecting lines creating several angles. The lines \(m\) and \(n\) are shown, as well as a transversal line \(t\). Angle \(X\) is marked at the intersection of the transversal and line \(m\). Another angle, marked as \(107^\circ\), is opposite angle \(X\) on the transversal.

**Question:**  
Line \(m\) is parallel to line \(n\) when the measure of angle \(X\) is \(\_\_\_\_\_\)°.
