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 to solve for \( x \), we start by using the fact that supplementary angles sum up to \( 180^\circ \).

We have:

  • \( m∠ABC = 105^\circ \)
  • \( m∠CBD = (3x - 24)^\circ \)

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

\[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting in the values we have:

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

Now, to fill in the blanks:

(3x − 24)° + 105° = 180°

So the equation is:

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

This provides you with the correct equation to solve for \( x \).
