(3x + 24) + 105 = 90
(3x + 24) + 105 = 90

(3x - 24) = 105
(3x - 24) = 105

(3x + 24) + 105 = 180
(3x + 24) + 105 = 180

To determine the correct equation for the given supplementary angles, we need to use the definition of supplementary angles: two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

You have the following angles:

  • \( m \angle ABC = 105^\circ \)
  • \( m \angle CBE = (3x + 24)^\circ \)

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

\[ (3x + 24) + 105 = 180 \]

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

\[ (3x + 24) + 105 = 180 \]

So, the correct response is:

(3x + 24) + 105 = 180.
