Your answer is:
68

you only subtract 22 from 90, since this angle is complementary and measures 90 degrees

Because there is a square at the bottom of the figure, we can say that the angle is equal to 90 degrees (x+22). Thus, the equation would be

x+22 = 90

x = 68

The value of "x" is then equal to 68
