Answer:

∠FIG = (47/2)° = 23.5° . . . . . rounds to 24°

Explanation:

The value of x can be found from ...

72 = 3x+3 . . . . the central angle and the arc measure are the same

24 = x+1 . . . . . divide by 3

23 = x . . . . . . . .subtract 1

The measure of ∠FIG is half the difference of the arc measures FG and RZ, so is ...

m∠FIG = (1/2)(3x+3 - (x+2)) = (1/2)(2x +1) = x +1/2

m∠FIG = 23 1/2 . . . . degrees

_____

Perhaps you're supposed to round this to 24°.
