Answer:

The value of x is 65 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we use the formula for an angle formed by a tangent and a secant.


23=(1)/(2)(111-x)

Next, solve the equation for x:


\begin{gathered} 23*2=111-x \\ 46=111-x \\ x=111-46 \\ x=65\degree \end{gathered}

The value of x is 65 degrees.
