well it depends on what shape these angles are associated with or else this is impossible to answer because i don't know if these are supposed to be equal angles our if they add up to 90 degrees. please elaborate.

What information are you given about quadrilateral ABCD?

anonymous · Answer

its a parellelogram.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.

mathstudent55 · Answer

That means m<A = m<C

mathstudent55 · Answer

Since you know m<A = 5x - 6, and m<C = 3x + 14, set those two expressions equal and solve the equation for x. 

Then substitute the value of x in 
m<A = 5x - 6
to get the measure of angle A.
