To solve the equation \(x + 42 - 88 \times 61 - 72 + 6161 = 537\), follow these steps:
Calculate \(88 \times 61\): \[ 88 \times 61 = 5368 \]
Substitute this value back into the equation: \[ x + 42 - 5368 - 72 + 6161 = 537 \]
Combine the constants: \[ 42 - 5368 - 72 + 6161 = 42 - 6140 + 6161 = 63 \]
Now the equation simplifies to: \[ x + 63 = 537 \]
Solve for \(x\): \[ x = 537 - 63 = 474 \]
Thus, the value of \(x\) is \( \boxed{474} \).
