Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Find the angles in both isosceles triangles.

Let's start with RXWGC first, they mentioned R was 96°, an isosceles triangle also is an triangle which two of the angles in the triangle are the same and one is different.

180 - 96 = 84° (The degree of two other angles)

84 ÷ 2 = 42° (The degree of each angle of the two same angles which is W and C)

After that, find the angles of the other isosceles triangle which is ELWG.

As mentioned that E is 40°, do the same as what was done in RXWGC.

180 - 40 = 140° (The degree of two other angles)

140 ÷ 2 = 70° - (The degree of each angle of the two same angles which is W and C)

Since you have found the degree for X and G...

180 - 42 - 70 = 68° (Degree of X in the small isosceles triangle)
