1. **Stating the problem:**
We have two circle-related angle problems.
**Problem 1:** Given angles on a circle with points S, T, U, and W, where the exterior angle at S is 34°, and the arcs UT and SV measure $(x+6)°$ and $(3x-2)°$ respectively.
**Problem 2:** A circle tangent to lines FG and GH at point G, with angle $75°$ between FG and GH, and an interior angle of $17x°$ inside the circle.
We will solve only the first problem as per instructions.
2. **Formula and rules for Problem 1:**
The exterior angle formed outside a circle by two secants equals half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
Mathematically:
$$\text{Exterior angle} = \frac{1}{2} |\text{arc}_1 - \text{arc}_2|$$
3. **Apply the formula:**
Given exterior angle at S is $34°$, arcs are $(x+6)°$ and $(3x-2)°$.
Set up the equation:
$$34 = \frac{1}{2} |(3x - 2) - (x + 6)|$$
4. **Simplify inside the absolute value:**
$$(3x - 2) - (x + 6) = 3x - 2 - x - 6 = 2x - 8$$
So:
$$34 = \frac{1}{2} |2x - 8|$$
5. **Multiply both sides by 2:**
$$2 \times 34 = |2x - 8|$$
$$68 = |2x - 8|$$
6. **Solve the absolute value equation:**
Two cases:
Case 1:
$$2x - 8 = 68$$
$$2x = 76$$
$$x = 38$$
Case 2:
$$2x - 8 = -68$$
$$2x = -60$$
$$x = -30$$
7. **Check for valid solution:**
Since angles must be positive, $x = -30$ is invalid.
8. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{x = 38}$$
