PQ is tangent to the circle so OQ is perpendicular to PQ.  So triangle PQO is a right triangle...  I think that's a big enough hint to figure out the question...

When the tangent touches the circle, a right angle is formed. PQO is a 90 degree angle.  A triangle has a total angle measure of 180. So 180 - 90 - 14 = angle x which is 76.  Does that help?
