9x°=180°
9 x equals 180

9x°+135°=180°
9 x plus 135 equals 180

9x°−135°=180°
9 x minus 135 equals 180

9x°+135°=90°
9 x plus 135 equals 90

1 answer

To find the equation to solve for \( x \), we need to remember that supplementary angles add up to \( 180^\circ \).

Given:

  • \( m∠ABC = 135^\circ \)
  • \( m∠CBD = 9x^\circ \)

We can express the relationship of the two angles as: \[ m∠ABC + m∠CBD = 180^\circ \]

Substituting the values we have: \[ 135^\circ + 9x^\circ = 180^\circ \]

This simplifies to the equation: \[ 9x^\circ + 135^\circ = 180^\circ \]

Therefore, the correct equation to solve for \( x \) is: 9x° + 135° = 180°
