Angle RPS is equal to RQS, because thay lie
on the same arc.
Angle PRQ is equal to PSQ, because thay lie
on the same arc.
because they are angles of a triangle.
because their arms PC and CS lie on a
straight line.
Hence, subtracting the last two equations
we obtain x = a+ b, 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.
