9x°=180°
9 x degrees equals 180 degrees

9x°+135°=180°
9 x degrees plus 135 degrees equals 180 degrees

9x°+135°=90°
9 x degrees plus 135 degrees equals 90 degrees

9x°−135°=180°

1 answer

To find the equation to solve for \( x \) given that the angles \( m∠ABC \) and \( m∠CBD \) are supplementary, you need to remember that supplementary angles add up to \( 180° \).

Given:

  • \( m∠ABC = 135° \)
  • \( m∠CBD = 9x° \)

Since they are supplementary, you can set up the equation as follows:

\[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180° \]

Substituting the values gives:

\[ 135° + 9x° = 180° \]

To isolate \( x \), you can rearrange it to:

\[ 9x° + 135° = 180° \]

Thus, the correct equation to solve for \( x \) is:

Response: 9x° + 135° = 180°
