<reasoning>

Identify the geometric relationship

The angle \(x^\circ\) and the given angle \(129^\circ\) lie on a straight line, forming a linear pair.

Apply the linear pair postulate

Since angles on a straight line are supplementary, their measures add up to \(180^\circ\).
\[
x^\circ + 129^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

Solve for the unknown angle

Subtract \(129^\circ\) from both sides to find the value of \(x\).
\[
x = 180 - 129 = 51
\]
