To find the equation for \( x \), you can use the relationship that supplementary angles sum to \( 180^\circ \).

Given:

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

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

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

Now, simplify the equation:

  1. Combine like terms: \[ 3x + 25 + 32 = 180 \] \[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]

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

\[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]
