Question

Hello! Can anyone please help me? The topic is angles.​

Answer 1

Answer:

29/4   or   7.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Complimentary angles are two angles that add up to 90

Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180

Angle ABC = x

Angle CBD = 7y + 4

Angle DBE = 8y + x

If we can find the measure of angle CBD, then we can find x.

We know that CBD + DBE = 180  because they are supplementary. Therefore...

(7y + 4)  +  (8y + x)  =  180

      AND

(7y + 4)  +  (x)  = 90

Now we can use algebra to solve for x and y...

Blah blah blah...

x  =  29/4

y  =  45/4
