Take a point

E

belong to a circle of center
D
.
△ E D B is an isosceles triangle, thus the congruent angles each measures ∠ D B E = ∠ D E B = 2 0 ∘ .
Also, we have △ A C D , △ A D B are congruent triangles by S.A.S.
△ C D E , △ E D B are congruent triangles by S.A.S.
Thus, △ A E C , △ A E B are congruent by deduction.
Therefore: E A = E C = E B corresponding sides of congruent triangles.
∠ A E B = 1 6 0 ∘ ⟹ ∠ E A B = ∠ E B A = 1 0 ∘
Thus, x = 2 0 ∘ + 1 0 ∘ = 3 0 ∘
Also, I forget to mention that the three blue triangles are congruent by S.S.S, which makes
the interior angles of this triangle

∣ A D ∣ ∣ D C ∣ = sin ( 1 1 0 ° − x ) sin 2 0 ° , ∣ A D ∣ ∣ D B ∣ = sin x sin 1 0 ° . ∣ D C ∣ = ∣ D B ∣ ⟹ sin 2 0 ° sin x = sin 1 0 ° sin ( 1 1 0 ° − x ) ⟹ x = tan − 1 ( sin 2 0 ° + sin 1 0 ° cos 1 1 0 ° sin 1 0 ° sin 1 1 0 ° ) = 3 0 ° .
