Two supplementary angles have the following measures: m∠ABC=135°

and m∠CBD=9x°
. What is the equation to solve for x

Responses

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

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

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

9x°+135°=90°

1 answer

To find the equation to solve for \( x \) given that the angles are supplementary, we start by recalling that two supplementary angles add up to \( 180^\circ \).

Given:

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

Since these angles are supplementary, we can set up the equation:

\[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the measures into the equation gives us:

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

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

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

So, the appropriate response is:

9x°+135°=180°.
