The triangle that includes both marked angles is a right triangle. (The tangent meets the circle at right angles to the radius.) So, the angle x° at the external point is the complement of the marked central angle.
x° = 90° -70°
x = 20
__
If x° is referring to the exterior angle associated with the isosceles triangle within the circle, then its measure is the supplement of the interior base angle of that triangle. It is ...
