Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

A quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle, so it is a cyclic Quadrilateral.

Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

Therefore,

3x + 21y = 180°.....(1)

2x + 26y = 180°.....(2)

From equations (1) & (2)

3x + 21 y = 2x + 26y

3x - 2y = 26y - 21y

x = 5y

y = 1/5 x

Plug y = 1/5 x in equation (1)

3x + 21*1/5x = 180

15x + 21x = 180*5

(Multiplying both sides by 5)

36x = 900

x = 900/36

x = 25
