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

(3x−24)°+__ °= __°

1 answer

Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees. Given the measures of the angles as \( m∠ABC = 105° \) and \( m∠CBD = (3x - 24)° \), we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180° \]

Substituting the given values, we have:

\[ 105° + (3x - 24)° = 180° \]

To express the equation in the format you requested:

\[ (3x - 24)° + 105° = 180° \]

This is the equation you would use to solve for \( x \).
