Two supplementary angles have the following measures: m∠ABC=135°
and m∠CBD=9x°
. What is the equation to solve for x
?(1 point)
Responses

9x°−135°=180°
9 x minus 135 equals 180

9x°+135°=90°
9 x plus 135 equals 90

9x°=180°
9 x equals 180

9x°+135°=180°
9 x plus 135 equals 180

To solve for \( x \) in the case of supplementary angles, we know that the sum of two supplementary angles is \( 180^\circ \).

Given:

  • \( m\angle ABC = 135^\circ \)
  • \( m\angle CBD = 9x^\circ \)

The equation to represent the sum of these two angles being supplementary is:

\[ m\angle ABC + m\angle CBD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting in the measures we have:

\[ 135^\circ + 9x^\circ = 180^\circ \]

To isolate \( 9x \), you would rearrange it as follows:

\[ 9x^\circ + 135^\circ = 180^\circ \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

9x° + 135° = 180°
