Answer:

14

Explanation:

Knowing the first triangle is isosceles, and given the degree is 69.

We can find the top left angle as 180-69-69=42

42 combine with another angle to make a right angle

90-42=48.

The second triangle is also isosceles, so to find 2

we can use 180-42=138 (supplementary angles rule)

and given 10x-8=138

10x=140

x=14
