The angle 130 degrees is 1 part of a straight line, and straight lines are 180 degrees. The angle right next to it, which is part of the triangle, is 50 degrees, because 130+?=180, so ?=50 degrees.

The degrees of a triangle always add to 180 degrees. Because we now know 2 of the angles, we can easily solve for the third:

50+53+x=180

x=180-50-53

x=77 degrees
