Angle DBA and angle ABC are supplementary angles.

The supplementary angles add up to 180°.

Therefore we have the equation:

m∠DBA + m∠ABC = 180°

(7x - 1) + (3x - 9) = 180

7x - 1 + 3x - 9 = 180 combine like terms

(7x + 3x) + (-1 - 9) = 180

10x - 10 = 180 add 10 to both sides

10x = 190 divide both sides by 10

x = 19

m∠ABC = (3x - 9)°

Substitute:

m∠ABC = (3 · 19 - 9)° = (57 - 9)° = 68°

Answer: m∠ABC = 68°
