Answer: 80

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

For any inscribed quadrilateral like this, the opposite angles are always supplementary. This means the angles add to 180

B+D = 180

(2x-1) + (3x-59) = 180

(2x+3x) + (-1-59) = 180

5x-60 = 180

5x = 180+60

5x = 240

x = 240/5

x = 48

Use this x value to find angle A

A = 2x+4

A = 2*48+4

A = 96+4

A = 100

This then means,

A+C = 180

C = 180-A

C = 180-100

C = 80 degrees

Side note: The term "cyclic quadrilateral" is the same as "inscribed quadrilateral".
