The second one    (the arc degrees intercepted by an inscribed angle is equal to TWICE the angle)

  The two angles cover the complete 360 degrees of the triangle in their arcs

 

soooo     360 = 2 ( 3x+1    +   2x+9  )

              180 = 5x +10

                 170 = 5x        x = 170/5 = 34  degrees

 

a = 2(34) + 9 = 77 degrees

First one

Inscribed angles are 1/2 of the arc that they cover

  the 121 degree angle covers   121 x2 = 242 degreees of the circle......

   the other angle covers  360 - 242 = 118 degrees 

     so the angle in question = 118/2 = 59 degrees
