The other angle of triangle (whose x angle is asked) would be 55 also.
so, angle x would be 180-(55+55)=70.

you can check by applying right-angle(Pythagoras theorm) formula for both the side triangle and see the sides are of length 5 each.

That helps, thanks. That helps in figuring out relationship between sides and the opposite angles to which they correspond.
