your answer is incorrect.
find x.
(there is a diagram with intersecting lines, one angle labeled 97°, another labeled 45°, and the angle to find labeled x°.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vertical angle

The angle opposite 45° is also 45°.

Step2: Use triangle angle sum

Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°. So $x + 45 + 97 = 180$.

Step3: Calculate x

$x = 180 - 45 - 97 = 38$.

Answer:

38
