Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you connect the chord ends to the center you will see that you form a right triangle where:
[tex]r^2=16^2+\left(\frac{9x-15}{2}\right)^2\ and\ r^2=16^2+\left(\frac{7x+5}{2}\right)^2\\ \\
\text{From these equations we can see}\\ \\ (9x-15)^2=(7x+5)^2\\ \\ 9x-15=7x+5\\ \\ 2x=20\\ \\ x=10[/tex]
