Explanation:

Step1: Recall the triangle angle - sum theorem

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is \(180^{\circ}\). So, \(x + 49+32 = 180\).

Step2: Simplify the left - hand side of the equation

\(x+(49 + 32)=x + 81\). The equation becomes \(x + 81=180\).

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 81 from both sides of the equation: \(x=180 - 81\).

Answer:

\(x = 99\)
