Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°:
180 - 50 - 62 = 68

Sum of angles in a triangle is 180°:
180 - 80 - 53 = 47

Sum of angles in a triangle is 180° / Vertically opposite:
180 - 68 - 47 = 65°

Answer: 65°

We know the sum of all angles in a triangle is
180^( \circ) and they have given both the triangles two of the angles.
*****
For the one on the right, we have

53+80=133

180-133=47
The bottom left angle of the triangle on the right is
47^( \circ).
*****
For the triangle on the left, we do the same process.
The bottom right angle of the triangle on the left is
68^( \circ).
*****
Now we can find the last angle of the smaller triangle created by the overlapping larger triangles.
Using the same method as the previous ones, we get

65^( \circ).
*****
A straight angle is
180^( \circ).

180-65=\boxed{115}


x=115
