Answer: Choice C) 67 degrees

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I've added the variables x, y and z. The goal is to find x. For now, let's find y.

Focus on the larger triangle. The three angles of any triangle must add to 180.

46+64+y = 180

110+y = 180

y = 180-110

y = 70

----------------------

Next, we'll find the angle z

The three angles y = 70, 49, and z all form a straight angle of 180 degrees.

y+49+z = 180

70+49+z = 180

119+z = 180

z = 180-119

z = 61

---------------------

Now we can find angle x. Focus on the smaller triangle

z+52+x = 180

61+52+x = 180

113+x = 180

x = 180-113

x = 67 which points us to choice C as the final answer.
