Answer:

x = 100degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the theorem;

The angle at the vertex is the half of the difference of its intercepted arcs

Angle at the vertex = 15 degrees

angle at the intercepted arcs = 70degrees and x degrees

According to the theorem;

15 = 1/2(x-70)

Cross multiply

15 * 2 = x - 70

30 = x - 70

Add 70 to both sides

30 + 70 = x - 70 + 70

100 = x

Swap

x = 100degrees

Hence the value of x is 100degrees
