Answer:

x = 147°

Explanation:

To find x, we have to find the angle measures in the small triangle.

180 - 61 = 119° (sum of adjacent angles on straight line=180)

The other angle measure in the triangle is 28° because they are vertically opposite angles.

We subtract 119° and 28° to find the angle measure next to x.

180 - 119 - 28 = 33° (sum of angles in a triangle=180)

x = 180 - 33

= 147° (sum of adjacent angles on straight line=180)
