This triangle is an isosceles triangle because it has two congruent sides. Therefore, the two bottom angles are also congruent. And, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

180 = 104 + (9x - 25) + (9x - 25)

180 = 104 + 18x - 50

180 = 54 + 18x

126 = 18x

x = 7

Hope this helps!
