Answer:

11

Explanation:

So the minor arc is 125 degrees which means the major arc is 360-125=235 degrees.

So this means that 6x-11=.5(major-minor).

This gives us the following equation to solve for x:

6x-11=.5(235-125)

Simplify within the ( ):

6x-11=.5(110)

Simplify the multiplication on the right hand side:

6x-11=55

Add 11 on both sides:

6x=66

Divide both sides by 6:

x=66/6

Simplify:

x=11
