How do I solve this? measuring triangles with incenter

OpenStudy (asylum15):

Remembering that the bisector always divides an angle in triangle into the same 2 parts, and also that the sum of all interior angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, you can make an equation: 2*32 + 2*37 + 2x = 180 Solve for X.

Have you had any trouble?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Alright, let me try it. (2 * 32) + (2 * 37) + 2x = 180 64 + 74 + 2x = 180 138 + 2x = 180 138 + 2x - 138 = 180 - 138 2x = 42 2x/2 = 42/2 x = 21

Correct. :)
