To find the value of x, we need to set the two obtuse opposite angles equal to each other and solve for x.

The two angles are labeled as (2x + 24) and 142 degrees.

Setting these angles equal to each other:

2x + 24 = 142

Subtracting 24 from both sides:

2x = 142 - 24

2x = 118

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 118/2

x = 59

Therefore, the value of x is 59.
