Since the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles, we can conclude that x + 47 + 68 = 180. Simplifying the equation, we get x + 115 = 180. Subtracting 115 from both sides, we find that x = 65. Therefore, the value of x is 65.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try solving it again.
Since the external angle is formed by extending one side of the triangle, it is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
Let's call the angle opposite to the extended side "x". Therefore, we have:
x + 47 + 68 = 180
Combining like terms, we get:
x + 115 = 180
Subtracting 115 from both sides, we find:
x = 180 - 115
x = 65
So, the value of x is 65 degrees.
