Answer:
m<ABD = 37°
m<DBC = 58°
Step-by-step explanation:
m<ABD + m<DBC = m<ABC
2x + 23 + 9x — 5 = 95
11x + 18 = 95
-18 -18
--------------------
11x = 77
/11 /11
---------------------
x = 7
Now, plug this into the equation for m<ABD and m<DBC to find their values.
m<ABD = 2x + 23
= 2(7) + 23
= 14 + 23
= 37
m<DBC = 9x — 5
= 9(7) — 5
= 63 – 5
= 58
Now, check to see if our values are right or not.
2x + 23 + 9x — 5 = 95
2(7) + 23 + 9(7) — 5 = 95
14 + 23 + 63 – 5 = 95
100 – 5 = 95
95 = 95 CORRECT
