To find the equation for the supplementary angles \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle CBD\), we start by using the fact that supplementary angles add up to \(180^\circ\).

We know:

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

Since these angles are supplementary, we can write the equation as:

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

Now, simplify the equation:

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

Combine the constant terms:

\[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]

This is the equation in simplest terms to solve for \(x\):

\[ 3x + 57 = 180 \]
