Question

Can someone help I don’t understand my answer are not adding up

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

∠ ABC = 9x + 5 ( alternate angles )

∠ ABC and ∠ DCB are sam- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is

9x + 5 + 16x = 180

25x + 5 = 180 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

25x = 175 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x = 7

Then

∠ ABC = 9x + 5 = 9(7) + 5 = 63 + 5 = 68° → B
