Step 1 :Given that in triangle MNO, m∠M = (5x - 14)°, m∠N = (4x + 16)°, and m∠O = (4x - 17)°.
Step 2 :We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
Step 3 :Therefore, we can set up the equation (5x - 14) + (4x + 16) + (4x - 17) = 180.
Step 4 :Solving this equation gives us the value of x.
Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{15}\)
