Answer:

x=40, ∠ACB=125, ∠ACD= 55

Explanation:

In order to solve this, you have to find the x-value. We know that these angles are supplementary, which means that the angles, ∠ACB and ∠ACD, both add up to 180°.

With this information, we can conclude 3x+5+2x-25=180.

To solve this equation for x,

1. Combine like terms

5x-20=180

2. Add 20 to both sides

5x=200

3. Divide both sides by 5.

x=40

Now we have the x-value. All we have left to do is plug that in to both of the equations for the angles.

1. ∠ACB: 3(40)+5

120+5

∠ACB = 125

2. ∠ACD: 2(40)-25

80-25

∠ACD = 55
