To solve for \( x \) given \( y^\circ = 71^\circ \), we need more information about the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \). For example, if \( x \) and \( y \) are angles in a polygon, angles in a triangle, complementary angles, or some other mathematical relationship, that context would help determine the value of \( x \).
If you can provide the specific relationship between \( x \) and \( y \), I would be happy to help further!
