Question

Someone please help me with this geometry question

Answer 1

x=-8

mbdc=68

Explanation:

bda is a straight angle

=> bdc+cda=180°

=> (-7x+12)°+(-8x+48)°=180°

=> -15x+60=180°

=> -15x=120°

=> x=-8

bdc= (-7)×(-8)+12=68°

Answer 2

Explanation:

-7x + 12 + (-8x + 48) = 180

-15x + 60 = 180

-15x = 120

x = -8

m<BDC= -7(-8)+ 12 = 56 + 12 = 68

m<CBA = -8(-8)+48 = 64+48 = 112
