Answer:

x = 6

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

If A, B and C are collineal points, they all pass through a common line.

<--------------14-------------->

A-----------B----------------C

<-----x-----><------x+2---->

Based on the problem and the diagram above,

(x) + (x+2) = 14

(2x+2) = 14

(2x) = 12

(x) = 6
