The 3 inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees. Looking at the larger outside triangle the top angle is 30 and the lower right angle is 60.

30 + 60 = 90

The lower left angle needs to be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.

That angle is split into two angles with one given as 70.

This means X needs to be 90 - 70 = 20 degrees.

x = 20
