1 answer

To set up the equation for the two supplementary angles, you need to use the information given:

  • The measure of angle \( \angle ABC = (3x + 25)^\circ \)
  • The measure of angle \( \angle CBD = 32^\circ \)

Since these two angles are supplementary, their measures add up to 180 degrees:

\[ (3x + 25) + 32 = 180 \]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[ 3x + 25 + 32 = 180 \] \[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]

Thus, the final equation in simplest terms is:

\[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]

This means you can express your answer as:

\[ 3x + 57^\circ = 180^\circ \]

If you need to write it in the specific format mentioned in your question:

\[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]

So the equation to solve for x is:

Answer: \(3x + 57 = 180\)
