Answer:

4x + 2 + 3x - 7 = 100

7x - 5 = 100

7x = 105

x = 15

Final answer:

To find the value of x, set up and solve an equation using the given information.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we can set up an equation using the given information. Since ∠ABD is a straight angle (180°), we can write the equation: (4x+2) + (3x-7) = 180. Solving this equation will give us the value of x.



Combining like terms, we get: 7x - 5 = 180.



Adding 5 to both sides, we get: 7x = 185.



Finally, dividing both sides by 7, we find that x = 26.
