Answer:

arc BC = 75 degrees

Explanation:

The angle where chords cross is half the sum of the intercepted arcs. This relation can be used to find x and the angle and arc measures.

__

The angle relation is ...

1/2((8x +11) +(9x -7)) = (8x +6)

17x +4 = 16x +12 . . . . . . . multiply by 2 and simplify

x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16x+4 from both sides

Then the measure of arc BC is ...

arc BC = 8x+11 = 8(8) +11 = 75 . . . degrees

_____

Additional comment

We can compute the other measures just to make sure they have the desired relationship.

angle BAC = 8x+6 = 70 . . . degrees

arc FD = 9x -7 = 65 . . . degrees

Since 70 = (65 +75)/2, these measures work out as expected.
