Answer: x = 35 (choice D)

====================================================

Work Shown:

secant angle = (far arc - near arc)/2

angle BGC = (arc BC - arc AD)/2

40 = (115 - x)/2

2*40 = 115-x

80 = 115-x

115-x = 80

-x = 80-115

-x = -35

x = 35

For more information, you can search out "secant angles" and it should go over how the formula is set up and why it works.
