Question 1210458
The value of angle $x$ is **12 degrees**.

## 📐 Calculation

The sum of the interior angles in any triangle is always **$180^\circ$**.

You are given the three angles of the triangle as $x$, $80^\circ$, and $88^\circ$.

$$x + 80^\circ + 88^\circ = 180^\circ$$

1.  **Sum the known angles:**
    $$80^\circ + 88^\circ = 168^\circ$$

2.  **Solve for $x$:**
    $$x + 168^\circ = 180^\circ$$
    $$x = 180^\circ - 168^\circ$$
    $$x = 12^\circ$$

Therefore, angle $x$ is **$12$ degrees**.
