In a triangle, the sum of the three angles is always 180 degrees.

Given that one of the base angles is x degrees and the angle between the two sides is 38 degrees, we can set up the equation:

x + 38 + 180 = 180

Simplifying the equation, we have:

x + 38 = 180 - 180

x + 38 = 0

Subtracting 38 from both sides, we get:

x = 0 - 38

x = -38

Therefore, the value of x is -38 degrees.
