Answer:

x = 8 , ∠ ABC = 66°

Explanation:

From the diagram

∠ ABC + ∠ DBC = ∠ ABD ( substitute values )

9x - 6 + 2(x + 4) = 90 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

9x - 6 + 2x + 8 = 90

11x + 2 = 90 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

11x = 88 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 8

Then

∠ ABC = 9x - 6 = 9(8) - 6 = 72 - 6 = 66°
