Step-by-step answer:

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.
