The image shows two parallel lines, \( m \parallel n \), cut by a transversal. The angles labeled are \( x^\circ \) and \( 118^\circ \). To find the value of \( x \), we can use the fact that corresponding angles are equal when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Since \( m \parallel n \), the angle \( x^\circ \) and the angle labeled \( 118^\circ \) are supplementary angles (they form a straight line at the intersection of the transversal). Therefore, their sum must be 180°.

Using the equation:
\[
x + 118 = 180
\]
\[
x = 180 - 118 = 62^\circ
\]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 62^\circ \).

**Tip:** When dealing with parallel lines and a transversal, always check if the angles are corresponding, alternate interior, or supplementary to simplify calculations.

Given m || n, find the value of x. (The image shows two parallel lines m and n cut by a transversal with angles x° and 118°.)
