Answer:

m∠CBD=68°

Explanation:

BA is perpendicular to BD, meaning they form a right angle (90°)

This means m∠CBD + m∠ABC=90, or they are supplementary.

We have expressions given for these angles, so

4x+52+8x-10=90

12x+42=90

12x=48

x=4

Knowing x=4, we can substitute back into our expression for m∠CBD because that's what we're looking for.

4(4)+52=68

m∠CBD is 68°.
