We are given a circle with two secants intersecting at point $P$ outside the circle. We are given $m \angle P = (3x)^\circ$, $m \stackrel{\frown}{QT} = 39^\circ$, and $m \stackrel{\frown}{RS} = (7x+33)^\circ$. We need to find the measure of $\angle P$ and the measure of arc $RS$ by substituting $x=6$.

1. Problem Description
We are given a circle with two secants intersecting at point outside the circle. We are given , , and . We need to find the measure of and the measure of arc by substituting .
2. Solution Steps
The measure of an angle formed by two secants intersecting outside a circle is one-half the difference of the intercepted arcs. Therefore,
Substitute the given expressions:
Multiply both sides by 2:
Subtract from both sides:
We are given and need to find and .
