To form the equation for the supplementary angles, we know that two angles are supplementary if their measures add up to \(180^\circ\).

Given:

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

We can set up the equation as follows:

\[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the given angle measures into the equation:

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

Now, we can write the equation in a simpler form:

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

This is the equation you can solve for \(x\).
