X = 70 because y = 70 as well

In other words, y = x
Hope this helps! :)

In a triangle, the sum of all the angles is always 180º.

We already have 2 of the angles: 60º and 50º.

Add them to get 110º.

Subtract 110º from 180º. You get 70º.

That means y = 70º.

X is equal to y since they are opposite each other.

So, x = 70º. Hope this helps!
