This is a triangle where one angle is given as \( 40^\circ \), and the other two angles are marked as \( x^\circ \). Since the sum of angles in any triangle is always \( 180^\circ \), we can set up the following equation:

\[
40^\circ + x^\circ + x^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

Simplifying this:

\[
40^\circ + 2x = 180^\circ
\]

Subtracting \( 40^\circ \) from both sides:

\[
2x = 140^\circ
\]

Now, divide by 2:

\[
x = 70^\circ
\]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 70^\circ \).
