Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 chords intersect then the product of the parts of one chord equal the product of the parts of the other chord, that is

12(x - 7) = 4(x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

12x - 84 = 4x + 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )_

8x - 84 = 12 ( add 84 to both sides )

8x = 96 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 12

Thus

12 + x - 7 = 12 + 12 - 7 = 17

4 + x + 3 = 4 + 12 + 3 = 19 ← longer chord
