Question

Solve for x and the measurement of ABC

Answer 1

Answer:

m‹ABC + m‹DBC = 180° [ angles on a straight line ]

${ \tt{(5x - 18) \degree + (8x + 3) \degree = 180 \degree}} \\ \\ { \tt{13x - 15 = 180}} \\ \\ { \tt{13x = 195}} \\ \\ { \tt{x = 15}}$

m‹ABC = 5(15)-18

m‹ABC = 57°

Answer 2

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow 5x-13+8x+3=180$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow 13x-10=180$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow 13x=180-10=170$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow x=\dfrac{170}{13}$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow x\approx 13$

Now

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow m$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow 5(13)-13$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow 65-13$

$\\ \ast\sf\hookrightarrow 52$
