Answer:

54°

Explanation:

Given BD bisects ∠ABC, which means it divided the angle into two equal parts, we can write the following equation to find the value of x, then the measure of ∠ABC:

9x = 8x + 3 subtract 8x from both sides

x = 3

The measure of ∠ABC = ∠ABD + ∠DBC

∠ABC = 9x + 8x + 3 add like terms

∠ABC = 17x + 3 replace x with 3

∠ABC = 17*3 + 3 and

∠ABC = 54°
