Answer:

x = 12.5

Explanation:

Since measure of 4th arc is not given (measure of 3 arcs have been given), we will apply the following theorem.

By the intersecting chords theorem,

"If two chords intersecting inside a circle, measure of the angle between these chords will measure the half the sum of measures of arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle."

Here intercepted arcs are (2x)° and 155°. Angel between the chords measure 90°.

By the theorem,

90° =
(1)/(2)(2x + 155)°

180° = (2x + 155)°

2x = 180 - 155

2x = 25

x = 12.5
