The angles circled in red below are same side exterior. This means that the sum of them is 180 degrees. You can make a formula like so that you will solve for x...

98 + x = 180

98 - 98 + x = 180 - 98

0 + x = 82

x = 82

Another way to solve:

The angles circled in pink below are opposite side exterior. This means that they must equal each other...

82 = x

x = 82

Hope this helped!
