(3x+10)° and (2x+20)°.

 

Since the opposte angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°, we have that

 

(3x + 10) + (2x + 20)  = 180   simplify the left side

 

5x + 30   = 180       subtract 30 from each side

 

5x  = 150     divide both sides by 5

 

x =  30

 

So.....the first angle = [ 3(30) + 10 ] = [ 90 + 10 ] = 100°

 

And the second angle = 180 - 100 = 80°
