Answer:

x =15

Explanation:

In
$\odot D,$ AB and AC are chords which are equidistant from the center of the circle.

$\therefore Chord \: AB \cong Chord\: AC$

$\therefore m \widehat {AB} = m\widehat {AC}$

(Equal chords intercept equal arcs)

$\because m \widehat {AB} = (10x-23)\degree$

$\therefore m \widehat {AC} = (10x-23)\degree$

$m \widehat {AB} +m \widehat {AC} +106\degree = 360\degree$

(Arc sum postulate of a circle)

$(10x-23)\degree + (10x-23)\degree= 360\degree- 106\degree$

$2(10x-23)\degree = 254\degree$

$(10x-23)\degree = 127\degree$

10x-23 = 127

10x = 127+23

10x = 150

$x = \frac {150}{10}$

x =15
