Answer: x = 112

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

Work Shown:

Let's make each of those unlabeled angles be angle y.

We have two copies of y, since the arcs are the same (meaning they are congruent angles) and 44 as well.

The three interior angles of any triangle add to 180

44+y+y = 180

2y+44 = 180

2y = 180-44 ... subtracting 44 from both sides

2y = 136

y = 136/2 ... divide both sides by 2

y = 68

Once we know y, we can find x

x+y = 180 ... since the adjacent angles form a straight line

x+68 = 180

x = 180-68 ... subtract 68 from both sides

x = 112
