Line Plots · Challenge problem

Eight friends made a line plot of how many marbles each has. One X is hidden under a sticker. The X's you can see are: 11 X above 11, 22 X's above 22, 11 X above 33, 22 X's above 44, and 11 X above 66. The plot only goes from 11 to 66. When the friends put all their marbles together, they can share them equally among the 88 of them with none left over. Above which number is the hidden X?
