Answer:

x = 29

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangles are congruent, that means the corresponding angles are equal.  (angles in the same spot in each triangle)

So we have  2x - 8 = 50

Now solve for x

  2x = 58      (add 8 to both sides)

 

  x = 29         (divide by 2 on both sides to isolate x)

The answer is not 29°, because you can see the ° sign on the outside of the parenthesis on the second triangle.
