<h3>Answer: 115</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram below. I've drawn diagonal that slopes upward. This diagonal cuts the quadrilateral into two triangles: One is equilateral and the other is isosceles.
The equilateral triangle marked in blue has all three angles 60 degrees each.
Note that the 60 and y angles combined to form 130, so,
60+y = 130
y = 130-60
y = 70
Then focus on the isosceles triangle (angles y, w and w). These three interior angles must add to 180
y+w+w = 180
70+2w = 180
2w = 180-70
2w = 110
w = 110/2
w = 55
This adds onto its adjacent neighbor of 60 to get w+60 = 55+60 = 115 degrees which is the value of x.
