We know that the sum of arc ND and arc ML divided by 2 is equivalent to 6x + 23.

Thus, we can form an equation:

6x + 23 = (11x + 8 + 3x + 14)/2

Simplify:

6x + 23 = (14x + 22)/2

Simply again:

6x + 23 = 7x + 11

Subtract 6x from both sides:

23 = x + 11

Subtract 11 from both sides

x = 12

Option A, or x = 12

-T.B.
