[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180°, we can set up an equation:

(2x+17) + 57 + 90 = 180

Simplify by combining like terms:

2x + 17 + 57 + 90 = 180
2x + 164 = 180

Subtract 164 from both sides:

2x = 16

Divide by 2:

x = 8

Therefore, x = 8.
