Lines AB and BC intersect at point B. Ray BD bisects angle ABC. (4x-24) B (x+6) What is the value of x?
1 answer:
If line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23
The line AB and BC are intersecting at point B.
Ray BD bisect the angle ABC
∠ABD = x+8 degrees
∠ABD=∠DBC = x+8
Because the ray BD bisect the ∠ABC, so ∠ABD and ∠DBC will be equal
∠ABD+∠DBC= 4x-30 degrees
Because both are vertically opposite angles
Substitute the values in the equation
x+8 + x+8 = 4x-30
2x+16 = 4x-30
2x-4x = -30-16
-2x = -46
x = 23
Hence, if line AB and BC are intersecting at point B and ray BD bisect the angle ABC, then the value of x is 23
