If angles \( x \) and \( y \) are supplementary, that means their measures add up to 180 degrees. Given that angle \( y \) measures 97 degrees, you can find the measure of angle \( x \) using the following equation:

\[
x + y = 180
\]

Substituting the value of \( y \):

\[
x + 97 = 180
\]

Now, subtract 97 from both sides to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = 180 - 97
\]
\[
x = 83
\]

Therefore, angle \( x \) measures \( 83 \) degrees.
