Agree with goyalsau, the answer is 33, below is my solution.


Image

refer above fig.


y+66+a=180 .......... (1)
x+(x+y)+a=180
a=180-2x-y
substitute a in (1)
y+66+180-2x-y=180
2x=66
x=33

An inscribed angle is half of the central angle that defines the same arc.

x is an inscribed angle lying on the same arc as a central angle. The central angle supplements 114 to 180 (straight line), so the central angle is 180-114=66. Thus, x must equal half of 66, or 33.

There's a reason they placed the entire thing in a circle. In questions asking for angles in a circle, think inscribed/central angles first, then triangle properties 2nd.
