Answer:

m∠ABD=116°

m∠DBC=64°

Explanation:

The sum of the two angles given equals 180°. To find the two angle measures, use the following equation:

m∠ABD+m∠DBC=180°

For this problem, m∠ABD=(7x+67)° and m∠DBC=(8x+8)°. So,

(7x+67)°+(8x+8)°=180°

15x+75=180

15x=105

x=7

Next, substitute x=7 into the original expressions for the angle measures.

m∠ABD=(7(7)+67)°

m∠ABD=(49+67)°

m∠ABD=116°

and

m∠DBC=(8(7)+8)°

m∠DBC=(56+8)°

m∠DBC=64°
