Answer:

The value of x is 120°

Explanation:

To solve for x, you need to introduce a third line that is parallel to the two parallel lines.

This line should divide the angle at x into two as shown in the attachment.

By the alternate interior angle property, m=70°

and

n=50°

This implies that, x=50+70=120°
