Two supplementary angles have measures m∠ABC=105° and m∠CBD=(3x−24)° . What is the equation to solve for x ? (1 point) (3x−24)°+ °= °

1 answer

To solve for \( x \) given that angles \( m∠ABC \) and \( m∠CBD \) are supplementary, we use the definition of supplementary angles. Supplementary angles sum up to \( 180^\circ \).

We know that:

  • \( m∠ABC = 105^\circ \)
  • \( m∠CBD = (3x - 24)^\circ \)

The equation representing their supplementary relationship is: \[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the angles into the equation gives: \[ 105^\circ + (3x - 24)^\circ = 180^\circ \]

This is the equation you need to solve for \( x \).

So the final form of the equation is: \[ 105 + (3x - 24) = 180 \]
