According to the given diagram, x is the complement to the angle that is vertical to the known angle.

Vertical angles have the same measure, it means that the complement of x is 73°.

Using the definition of complementary angles, we have that the sum of x and 73 is 90, find x using this information:


\begin{gathered} x+73=90 \\ x=90-73 \\ x=17 \end{gathered}

x has a value of 17.
