Answer: x = 65

Explanation:

1) First find the mini triangles, left and right angles

We will be calling the left one A and the right one B.

2) Next use triangle sum to find B.

62 + 50 + b = 180

b = 68

3) Use triangle sum again to find A.

53 + 80 + a = 180

a = 47

4) Use triangle sum to find the top mini angle.

47 + 68 + c = 180

c = 65

5) Since x is in the vertical angle of c, they are equal

c = x

65 = x
