A is the answer for the question
Hi there!

Work out the parenthesis.

Combine like terms.

Subtract 9 from both sides.

Subtract 4x from both sides

Divide both sides by -9
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
ABC is an isosceles triangle with BA = BC.
That makes angles A and C congruent.
ABD is an isosceles triangle with AB = AD.
That makes angles ABD and ADB congruent.
Since m<ABD = 72 deg, then m<ADB = 72 deg.
Angles ADB and CDB are a linear pair which makes them supplementary.
m<ADB + m<BDC = 180 deg
72 deg + m<BDC = 180 deg
m<CDB = 108 deg
In triangle ABD, the sum of the measures of the angles is 180 deg.
m<A + m<ADB + m<ABD = 180 deg
m<A + 72 deg + 72 deg = 180 deg
m<A = 36 deg
m<C = 36 deg
In triangle BCD, the sum of the measures of the angles is 180 deg.
m<CBD + m<C + m<BDC = 180 deg
m<CBD + 36 deg + 108 deg = 180 deg
m<CBD = 36 deg
In triangle CBD, angles C and CBD measure 36 deg making them congruent.
Opposite sides DB and DC are congruent making triangle BCD isosceles.
It is my unprofessional opinion that the answer will be c.
my reasoning is because Lisa is asking for a percentage from a set amount<span />
