Question

If AB is an angle bisector of CAD, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

x=8

Explanation:

If AB is a bisector, that means angles CAB and BAD are equal

<CAB = <BAD

33 = 4x+1

Subtract 1 from each side

33-1 = 4x+1-1

32 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

32/4 = 4x/4

8 =x

Answer 2

x = 8

Explanation:

Angle bisector splits an angle into two equal angles

4x + 1 = 33

4x = 33 - 1

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8
