Two identical thin rods of mass \( M \) \( \text{kg} \) and length \( L \) \( \text{m} \) are connected as shown in figure. Moment of inertia of the combined rod system about an axis passing through point \( P \) and perpendicular to the plane of the rods is \( \frac{x}{12} \, M L^2 \, \text{kg m}^2 \). The value of \( x \) is _________________.
