Answer: 73

Step-by-step explanation: We know that all the vertices of a triangle should add up to 180 degrees. The straight line on which 105 degrees is sitting is 180 degrees. To find that missing side(y) we do:

105+y=180

-105 -105

So y is equal to 75.

So that missing side of the top triangle is 75, and since the vertices of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we make the equation:

32+75+x=180

107+x=180

-107 -107

x=73

X is equal to 73.
