Question

Please help me find the angle! (link) Thank you!

Answer 1

So angle CBD and ABC are a linear pair, which means that the two angles are supplementary (add up to 180°). Using this info, we can solve the equation for x as such:

`6x-60+8x+16=180\\ 14x-44=180\\ 14x=224\\ x=16`

Now that we got x, plug in 16 into x into 6x-60 and solve:

`6(16)-60\\ 96-60\\ 36`

In short, Angle ABC is 36°
