Answer 1

x=34

Explanation:

The angles are complementary, or they add to 90 degrees. We know this because of the little rectangle in the corner.

x+56=90

Subtract 56 from both sides

x+56-56=90-56

x=34

Answer 2

x = 34

Explanation:

The two angles sum to a right angle, which is 90 degrees. We can tell this from the box in the corner

x+56 = 90

Subtract 56 from each side

x+56-56= 90-56

X = 34
