Step-by-step solution

Here's how to find the value of x+yx+y:

  1. Identify angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference.

    The angles ∠SQR\angle SQR and ∠SPR\angle SPR are both subtended by the arc SR at the circumference. Angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are equal.
    Given ∠SQR=60∘\angle SQR = 60^\circ and ∠SPR=y\angle SPR = y.

    y=∠SQRy = \angle SQR y=60∘y = 60^\circ
  2. Relate the central angle to the angle at the circumference.

    The angle ∠SOR\angle SOR is the angle subtended by arc SR at the center O. The angle ∠SQR\angle SQR is the angle subtended by arc SR at the circumference. The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference subtended by the same arc.
    Given ∠SOR=3x\angle SOR = 3x and ∠SQR=60∘\angle SQR = 60^\circ.

    ∠SOR=2×∠SQR\angle SOR = 2 \times \angle SQR 3x=2×60∘3x = 2 \times 60^\circ 3x=120∘3x = 120^\circ
  3. Solve for xx.

    Divide both sides by 3.

    x=120∘3x = \frac{120^\circ}{3} x=40∘x = 40^\circ
  4. Calculate x+yx+y.

    Now substitute the values of xx and yy into the expression x+yx+y.

    x+y=40∘+60∘x+y = 40^\circ + 60^\circ x+y=100∘x+y = 100^\circ

    The value of x+yx+y is 100∘\boxed{\text{}100^\circ\text{}}.
