Explanation:

We can see that the triangle in the picture is an equilateral triangle, because its sides are all marked with one dash, meaning they are equal lengths. We note that all the angles in an equilateral triangle are each 60°.

The little arrows on the top and bottom lines in the figure indicate that they are parallel, which means that the diagonal line between them creates a set of alternate angles (I've attached a pic of what alternate angles generally look like to make this clearer).

Alternate angles are equal, which means x is equal to the angle at the bottom right of the triangle, which is 60°.

Explanation:

The slashes through the lines indicate they're of the same length, which means this is an equilateral triangle. Therefore all three angles are 60 degrees.

The lines being parallel mean that angle x shares the same angle as the triangle in the bottom-right corner.

The parallel lines intersecting with the line segment that is consistent throughout the triangle makes the angle the same.
