Step 1: Use the property of angles formed by intersecting chords.
The angle formed by two intersecting chords (MQ and NP) inside a circle is half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
The angle ∠NFP=(5x)∘\angle NFP = (5x)^\circ intercepts arcs NP and MQ.
The inscribed angle ∠NMP=(100−x)∘\angle NMP = (100-x)^\circ subtends arc NP. Therefore, arc NP=2×∠NMP=2(100−x)∘\text{arc NP} = 2 \times \angle NMP = 2(100-x)^\circ.
The inscribed angle ∠MNQ=y∘\angle MNQ = y^\circ subtends arc MQ. Therefore, arc MQ=2×∠MNQ=2y∘\text{arc MQ} = 2 \times \angle MNQ = 2y^\circ.
So, we have
