Answer

x = 168 degrees

Explanations:

The given diagram is a parallelogram. The measure of the opposite angles are equal. Hence;


\begin{gathered} \angle A=\angle C \\ \end{gathered}

Given the following parameters


\begin{gathered} \angle A=112^0 \\ \angle C=(2)/(3)x^0 \end{gathered}

Equate


\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)x=112 \\ (1)/(3)x=56 \\ x=3*56 \\ x=168^0 \end{gathered}

Hence the value of x is 168 degrees
