Please refer to attached image.
1. Quad PQRS is cyclic (all vertices on the same circle), so opposite angles are supplementary, meaning
that
angles QPS and QRS are supplementary =>
QPS+QRS=180 =>
QRS = 180 - 74 = 106
2. Triangle RSQ is isosceles with RS=RQ =>
angles RSQ and RQS are congruent.
3. Angle RSQ = (180 - 106) /2 = 74 / 2 = 37
4. QP is a diameter => angle QSP is a right-angle.
5. From (3) and (4) above,
angle RSP = 37+90 = 127
6. Since PQRS is cyclic, angles RQP and RSP are supplementary =>
RQP+RSP = 180 =>
x + 127 = 180 =>
x = 180 - 127 = 53 degrees.
