Answer:

The value of x is 5

Explanation:

In the given figure

∵ There is a pair of linear angles, one of them = 150°

The sum of the measure of the linear angles = 180°

∴ The measure of the adjacent angle to 150° = 180° - 150°

The measure of the adjacent angle to 150° = 30°

In the triangle

The angle of measure 12x is an exterior angle of the triangle

∵ The measure of the exterior angle at a vertex of a Δ equals the sum

of the measures of the opposite interior angles to this vertex

∵ The measures of the opposite angles of the angle of measure 12x

are 30 and 30

12x = 30 + 30

∴ 12x = 60

→ Divide both sides by 12


(12x)/(12) =
(60)/(12)

x = 5

The value of x = 5

Look at the attached figure for more understanding
