From figure,

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
By property of cyclic quadrilateral — An exterior angle of cyclic quadrilateral is equal to opposite interior angle.
We get,
∠BAD = ∠DCE = x°
Arc BD subtends ∠BOD on center and ∠BAD at point A of the circle.
∴ ∠BOD = 2∠BAD (∵ as angle subtended on center of circle is double the angle subtended on any other part.)
⇒ 150° = 2x°
⇒ x° =
⇒ x° = 75°.
Hence, the value of x = 75.
