Answer: 44º

Explanation:

Hi there! To start out, disregard Y and Z, as they are just there to trip you up.

Use the Triangle Sum Theorem to find out the question! This theory states that all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. So, just set up an equation, like the one down below!

82+54+X=180

Then, add the whole numbers!

136+X=180

Then isolate X by using inverse operations!

136+X-136=180-136

Then your answer is there!

X=44

If you have any follow up questions, please let me know! Have a nice day
