Explanation:

Step1: Recall triangle angle sum

The sum of angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\). So, \(x + 27 + 112 = 180\).

Step2: Simplify and solve for x

First, add \(27\) and \(112\): \(27 + 112 = 139\). Then, \(x + 139 = 180\). Subtract \(139\) from both sides: \(x = 180 - 139 = 41\).

Answer:

\(x = 41\)
