Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of alternate interior angles

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, alternate interior angles are equal. Here, line \(p\) is the transversal for parallel lines \(j\) and \(m\).

Step2: Determine the value of \(x\)

Since the alternate interior angles are equal, \(x = 48\).

Answer:

\(48\)
