In a triangle, the exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles. In this case, you have an exterior angle \( x \) and two interior angles measuring \( 37^\circ \) and \( 42^\circ \).

To find the measure of the exterior angle \( x \), you can use the formula:

\[
x = 37^\circ + 42^\circ
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
x = 79^\circ
\]

Therefore, the measure of the exterior angle \( x \) is \( 79^\circ \).
