Answer:

x = 50

Explanation:

When two secants intersect in the interior of a circle, the angles formed are the average of the arc an angle and its vertical intercept. In this case, our angle, 73, should be the average of x and 96. We can translate this to an equation and solve:


(x+96)/(2) = 73

x + 96 = 146

x = 50
