    The value of x is 5

    The measure of arc EF is 58°

    The measure of arc GH is 55°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us revise some important facts in a circle

    The measure of a circle is 360° Any diameter divides the circle into two equal arcs the measure of each one is 180° The measure of an arc equal the measure of the central angle subtended by it

    In circle D

    ∵ FD and GD are radii

    - The angle whose vertex is the center of a circle and its sides

    are radii in the circle is called a central angle

    ∴ ∠FDG is a central angle subtended by arc FG

    - The measure of the central angle is equal to the measure

    of its subtended arc

    ∴ m∠FDG = measure of arc FG

    ∵ m∠FDG = 67°

    ∴ Measure of arc FG = 67°

    ∵ EH is a diameter of circle D

    - It divides the circle into two equal arcs

    ∴ The measure of arc EH = 180°

    ∵ Arc EH contains arcs EF, FG, and GH

    ∴ m arc EH = m arc EF + m arc FG + m arc GH

    ∵ m arc EF = (10 x + 8) °

    ∵ m arc FG = 67°

    ∵ m arc GH = (11 x) °

    - Substitute them in the equation above

    ∴ 180 = (10 x + 8) + 67 + 11 x

    - Add the like terms in the right hand side

    ∴ 180 = 21 x + 75

    - Subtract 75 from both sides

    ∴ 105 = 21 x

    - Divide both sides by 21

    ∴ 5 = x

    The value of x is 5

    ∵ m arc EF = (10 x + 8) °

    - Substitute x by 5

    ∴ m arc EF = 10 (5) + 8 = 50 + 8 = 58°

    The measure of arc EF is 58°

    ∵ m arc GH = (11 x) °

    - Substitute x by 5

    ∴ m arc GH = 11 (5) = 55°

    The measure of arc GH is 55°
