Answer:

x=29°

Explanation:

The sign above means congruent meaning the shapes are of the same shape and sizes.

The triangles are oppositely congruent meaning angle D= angle A and angle E= angle B.

So if C is 48 and D is 74, 48+74= 122. 180-122=58

Angle E is 58. According to the second statement above angle A will then be 74 and C will still be 48

74+48+2x= 180

2x=58

x=58/2 = 29°
