The first step to do is to draw this picture on your notebook and *extend the ray* on the left. After doing that, you will be able to see the angle between the new ray and the almost horizontal right line is 27° (vertically opposite angles). Because of the right angle in the picture, we have (vertically opposite angles again)


90\text{ = 27 + x}

This leads us to conclude x = 63°.
