Answer 1

Answer:

1) x = 25    2) x = 23; m∠CBD = 80 degrees

Step-by-step 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
