Two supplementary angles have measures  m∠ABC=105° and m∠CBD=(3x−24)° . What is the equation to solve for x ? (1 point)

(3x−24)°+___°=___ °

1 answer

To find the equation for the measures of the two supplementary angles, we recall that supplementary angles sum to 180°. Given:

  • \( m\angle ABC = 105° \)
  • \( m\angle CBD = (3x - 24)° \)

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

\[ m\angle ABC + m\angle CBD = 180° \]

Substituting the values we have:

\[ 105° + (3x - 24)° = 180° \]

To write this in the form you're asking for:

\[ (3x - 24)° + 105° = 180° \]

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

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

You can simplify it further if needed but that's the primary equation.
