angle AOB = 132 and is also the sum of angles AOD and DOB. Hence
angle AOD + angle DOB = 132° ---> 1

angle COD = 141 and is also the sum of angles COB and BOD. Hence
angle COB + angle DOB = 141° ---> 2

Now we add the left sides together and the right sides of equations 1 and 2 together to form a new equation.

angle AOD + angle DOB + angle COB + angle DOB = 132 + 141 ---> 3

We should also note that:
angle AOD + angle DOB + angle COB = 180°

Therefore substituting angle AOD + angle DOB + angle COB in equation 3 by 180 and solving for angle DOB:
180 + angle DOB = 132 + 141
angle DOB = 273 - 180 = 93°
