$\angle RPS$ is equal to $\angle RQS$, because thay lie
on the same arc.
$\angle PRQ$ is equal to $\angle PSQ$, because thay lie
on the same arc.
$$\alpha + \beta + \gamma =180^o$$ because they are
angles of a triangle. $$\gamma + x = 180^o$$ because
their arms $PC$ and $CS$ lie on a straight line.
Hence, subtracting the last two equations we obtain $x
= \alpha + \beta$, which is my generalisation of the
theorem about the angle at the centre of a circle being
twice the angle at the circumference subtended on the
same arc.
