First, we deal with the upper triangle.

The upper triangle has 2 congruent sides. The angles opposite congruent sides are congruent. The upper right angle measures 65 deg, so the upper left angle also measures 65 degrees. The lower angle of the upper triangle measures 180 - 65 - 65 = 50 degrees.

Now we deal with the lower triangle.

The angles opposite the congruent sides of the lower triangle are congruent. Because of vertical angles, the upper angle of the lower triangle measures 50 deg. The upper angle and the lower right angle are congruent. They both measure 50 degrees. Then x = 180 - 50 - 50 = 80.

Answer: x = 80
