1. **Stating the problem:** We are given two angles formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. The angles are \((89 - 6x)^\circ\) and \((3x + 62)^\circ\). We need to find the value of \(x\).
2. **Formula and rules:** When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, alternate interior angles are equal. Here, the two given angles are alternate interior angles, so:
$$89 - 6x = 3x + 62$$
3. **Solving the equation:**
Subtract 62 from both sides:
$$89 - 62 - 6x = 3x$$
$$27 - 6x = 3x$$
Add \(6x\) to both sides:
$$27 = 3x + 6x$$
$$27 = 9x$$
Divide both sides by 9:
$$x = \frac{27}{9} = 3$$
4. **Answer:** The value of \(x\) is \(3\).
