The value of
\( x \) is 50 degrees, which corresponds to option D.

The diagram shows a circle circumscribed around quadrilateral ABCD, with an angle at C that is 130 degrees. Assuming that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral (a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on the circumference of a circle), then the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum up to 180 degrees due to the Inscribed Angle Theorem. This theorem states that the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

Given that angle
\( \angle C \) is 130 degrees, we can find the measure of angle
\( \angle A \) by the following relationship for a cyclic quadrilateral:


\[ \angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ \]

Plugging in the value for
\( \angle C \), we get:


\[ \angle A + 130^\circ = 180^\circ \]

Now, let's calculate the value of angle
\( \angle A \):


\[ \angle A = 180^\circ - 130^\circ \]


\[ \angle A = 50^\circ \]

Therefore, The answer is 50 degrees.
