The numerical value of x in the expression for the interior angle of the triangle is 6.

The figure in the image is triangle.

Note that, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle add up 180 degrees.

From the figure:

Angle 1 = 66 degrees

Angle 2 = 37 degrees

Angle 3 = ( 11x + 11 ) degrees

To solve for the value of x, wee sum the interior angle of the triangle and equate 180 degrees.

Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180

Plug in the values:

66 + 37 + ( 11x + 11 ) = 180

Collect and add like terms:

66 + 37 + 11 + 11x = 180

114 + 11x = 180

11x = 180 - 114

11x = 66

x = 66/11

x = 6

Therefore, the value of x is 6.
