Answer:

116 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide the triangle from the vertex of the triangle, the vertex angle of each triangle would lie on a straight line in the triangle. Angle on a straight line is 180 degrees.

If the vertex angle of one triangle is 64 degrees then the vertex angle x of the other triangle is 180 degrees - 64 degrees = 116 degrees.
