the right answer is c.80

Remark

Nice application problem. Thanks for posting. The angle x = 1/2 the positive difference between the two intersected arcs.

Givens

largest arc = x + 60

Smallest arc = 20

intersection angle between the two secants = x

Solution

x = (x + 60 - 20)/2                  Multiply both sides by 2

2x = (x + 40)                           Subtract x from both sides

x = 40
