Answer:
1) x = 25 2) x = 23; m∠CBD = 80 degrees
Explanation:
1) 5x + 15 = 6x - 10 Set both equations equal to each other
- 5x - 5x Subtract 5x from both sides
15 = x - 10
+ 10 + 10 Add 10 to both sides
25 = x
2) 2x + 14 + x + 7 = 90 Set the equations equal to 90
3x + 21 = 90 Combine like terms
- 21 - 21 Subtract 21 on both sides
3x = 69 Divide both sides by 3
x = 23
Plug 23 into the equation
2(23) + 14 = 60
