Answer:

144°

Explanation:

x is an exterior angle of the triangle.

Angles 96° and 48° are interior angles of the triangle that are not adjacent to angle x. Angles 96° and 48° are called the "remote interior angles" of exterior angle x.

Theorem:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the remote interior angles.

x = 48 + 96

x = 144

Answer: 144°
