Answer:

The answer is 130 degrees.

Explanation:

The angle to the left of angle marked 50 degrees is supplementary, which means that the two angles will add up to equal 180 degrees. That means in order to find the other angle, you subtract 50 from 180, leaving us with 130 degrees.

Angle x is corresponding to the angle measure 130 degrees, which means they are equal. And thus, angle x is 130 degrees.
