Answer: 115

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I've drawn diagonal that slopes upward. This diagonal cuts the quadrilateral into two triangles: One is equilateral and the other is isosceles.

The equilateral triangle marked in blue has all three angles 60 degrees each.

Note that the 60 and y angles combined to form 130, so,

60+y = 130

y = 130-60

y = 70

Then focus on the isosceles triangle (angles y, w and w). These three interior angles must add to 180

y+w+w = 180

70+2w = 180

2w = 180-70

2w = 110

w = 110/2

w = 55

This adds onto its adjacent neighbor of 60 to get w+60 = 55+60 = 115 degrees which is the value of x.
