Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Intesecting \ Chord \ Theorem[/tex]-When two chords intersect each other inside a circle, the products of their segments are equal.

The chord segments are given as (5,n+8) and (7,n+4)

[tex]5(n+8)=7(n+4)\\5n+40=7n+28\\2n=12\\n=6\\[/tex]

The value of n is 6
