Step 1: The question falls under intersecting secant lines theorem

This explain that m

Step 2 :


\begin{gathered} 61x+2=(1)/(2)(54+194)^{} \\ 61x\text{ + 2 = }(1)/(2)\text{ x 248} \\ 61x\text{ + 2 = 124} \\ 61x\text{ = 122} \\ \text{divide both sid}e\text{ by 61} \\ x\text{ = }(122)/(61) \\ x=\text{ 2} \\ \end{gathered}

Then X = 2
