In this problem, we're given an angle and two sides. Therefore, we should use a trigonometric function to solve for x.

Remember! SOH-CAH-TOA

We are given a 26 degree angle, looking from which we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. As such, we should use the cosine function.

cos(26) = x / 69

x = cos(26) * 69

x = 62.0168

x = 62.0

Hope this helps!
