Answer:

14. x=21, GK=167°, HJ=98°, HGJ=262°, GKJ=201°

15. x=9, AD=108°, BC=23°, DC=139°, DBC=221°

Explanation:

In each case, the sum of the arcs around the circle is 360°.

__

14. 61 +(5x -7) +34 +(9x -22) = 360

14x = 294 . . . . . subtract 66, simplify

x = 21 . . . . . . . . divide by 14

(5x -7) = 98

(9x -22) = 167

  • x = 21
  • arc GK = 167°
  • arc HJ = 98°
  • arc HGJ = 360° -98° = 262°
  • arc GKJ = 167° +34° = 201°

__

15. 90 +(2x +5) +(17x -14) +(12x) = 360

31x = 279 . . . . subtract 81, simplify

x = 9 . . . . . . . . divide by 31

(2x+5) = 23

(17x -14) = 139

(12x) = 108

  • x = 9
  • arc AD = 108°
  • arc BC = 23°
  • arc DC = 139°
  • arc DBC = 360° -139° = 221°
