1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the value of xx given that arc CBCB measures 115115^\circ and is expressed as 7x67x - 6 and arc ABAB also measures 115115^\circ and is expressed as 5x+85x + 8.

2. Solution Steps

Since the measures of the arcs CBCB and ABAB are both equal to 115115^\circ, we can set the expressions for their measures equal to each other.
7x6=5x+87x - 6 = 5x + 8
Now, we solve for xx.
Subtract 5x5x from both sides:
7x5x6=5x5x+87x - 5x - 6 = 5x - 5x + 8
2x6=82x - 6 = 8
Add 6 to both sides:
2x6+6=8+62x - 6 + 6 = 8 + 6
2x=142x = 14
Divide both sides by 2:
2x2=142\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{14}{2}
x=7x = 7

3. Final Answer

x=7x = 7
