Answer:

84°

Explanation:

You want the measure of angle x formed by a tangent and a chord that cuts off an arc of 168°.

Angle

The measure of angle x is half the measure of the subtended arc, as it is with all inscribed angles in a circle.

x = 168°/2 = 84°

The value of x is 84°.

__

Additional comment

The measure of y is the supplement of the measure of x, 96°. It is half the measure of the long arc, which is 192°.
