Answer:

x=60

Explanation:

We know that when two secant lines, or a secant line and a tangent line, intersect at a point outside the circle, the measure of the angle formed at the point of intersection is half the difference between measures of the intercepted arcs.

So, we can set up the equation
55=(1)/(2) (170-x), which will come out to
x=60.

hope this helps!
