ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

By property of cyclic quadrilateral — An exterior angle of cyclic quadrilateral is equal to opposite interior angle.

We get,

∠BAD = ∠DCE = 80°

Arc BD subtends ∠BOD on center and ∠BAD at point A of the circle.

From figure,

∠BOD = 360° - x°

∴ ∠BOD = 2∠BAD (∵ as angle subtended on center of circle is double the angle subtended on any other part.)

⇒ 360° - x° = 2 × 80°
⇒ x° = 360° - 160°
⇒ x° = 200°.

Hence, the value of x = 200.
