The value of x in the diagram is 11

The exterior angle theorem states that the sum of two interior angles is equal to the opposite exterior angles.

This means that if a and b are the interior angles and c is the exterior angle , then

a + b = c

Therefore;

5x + 6x + 2 = 123

collect like terms

11x = 123 - 2

11x = 121

divide both sides by 11

x = 121/11

x = 11

Therefore the value of x is 11
