Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

The measure of an arc of a circle is twice the measure of the inscribed angle that intercepts the arc.

m(arc)YZ = 2 × 59°

m(arc)YZ = 118°

A full circle has arc measure 360°.

m(arc)ZX + m(arc)XY + m(arc)YZ = 360°

75° + (17x - 20)° + 118° = 360°

75 + 17x - 20 + 118 = 360

17x + 173 = 360

17x = 187

x = 11
